U.S. military agencies such as the Air Force, Army and Central Command are exploring applications of generative artificial intelligence tools, TechTarget reported Wednesday.
CENTCOM has deployed a large language model on the government’s classified network, Secure Internet Protocol Router, to facilitate machine-assisted disclosure and support code augmentation and generation.
“We think the obvious reason that it was particularly successful is it’s quite easy to catch errors very candidly with quick utility, but also very quick to notice if your code just doesn’t generate the output and low risk in general, if it is not doing it correctly,” Schuyler Moore, chief technology officer of CENTCOM and a 2024 Wash100 awardee, said of the LLM during a panel discussion at a summit on Tuesday.
The Air Force has developed NIPRGPT, an AI chatbot that answers users’ questions and enables them to code in a secure environment and perform other tasks.
Collen Roller, a senior computer scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory, said people are using NIPRGPT to develop presentation outlines or roll-ups of meetings.
Meanwhile, the Army is testing an AI model called CamoGPT.
“From the Army’s perspective, we’re going to experiment a lot on … [and look at] what it means to adopt some of these technologies,” Isaac Faber, director of the U.S. Army AI Center, said during the panel.
