"ChatGPT: Using the most advanced technology to support multi-domain operations"
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot based on the GPT-3 large-scale natural language model. Since OpenAI was launched in November 2022, it has quickly become popular all over the world. It's the fastest-growing consumer app in history, with roughly 100 million monthly active users just two months after launch.
It has sparked intense debate, interest and controversy across a wide range of industries and sectors, including education, entertainment, journalism, manufacturing, science and technology, and the arts. Ryan Reynolds used it to write a Mint Mobile ad (and it's a pretty effective ad), and shares in online media company Buzzfeed soared 120% as the company plans to invest heavily in AI-driven content.
The underlying natural language models and techniques powering ChatGPT have enormous potential to revolutionize artificial intelligence on the battlefield. Generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT have been added to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) watch list, C4ISRNET recently reported.
The power of artificial intelligence is at play at every level of the defense industry in every field. The United States and its allies are in the midst of an AI arms race, with the DoD’s Third Offset Strategy stating that “rapid advances in AI—along with robotics, autonomy, big data, and increased collaboration with industry—will define the next generation war."
The Power of ChatGPT: Enhancing Military Intelligence and Decision Making
ChatGPT is a transformer-based artificial intelligence language model that has been trained on massive text datasets from the internet, enabling it to generate human-like text. This unique capability makes it an ideal tool for military applications such as generating realistic scenarios, simulating conversations between entities, and providing intelligence insights. With the ability to understand, respond to, and interact with humans, ChatGPT has the potential to significantly improve military intelligence and decision-making.
Meeting the Requirements of a Military Environment: The Importance of Technical Robustness
Reliably deploying artificial intelligence in some of the harshest environments on Earth requires specialized hardware. High-performance edge computing is critical to the success of deployed AI missions. Operating in a competitive environment with constrained bandwidth and degraded communications makes the tactical use of cloud-based and artificial intelligence a burden. Computational processing power must reside internally to ensure the low latency and near real-time speeds required by AI-based applications.
To meet these demands, AI must be deployed on rugged computing platforms that can handle extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration; and protect against dust and water ingress and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The design of these platforms must also ensure the reliability and safety of AI systems , especially in the critical context of military operations.
"Technical Details: Understanding the Computational Requirements of ChatGPT Deployment"
The computing requirements for training and deploying the ChatGPT model are very large, requiring a powerful computing platform that can handle large amounts of data and handle complex algorithms.
For reference, the Big Science Language Open Science Open Access Multilingual (or, luckily, BLOOM for short) large language model contains 176 billion parameters, a billion more than the GPT-3 that ChatGPT runs on. The model is about 700GB and has to be loaded and unloaded from GPU memory in the container. The recommended configuration to run this model is 8 NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs! This is an incredible amount of computation and would be impossible for any kind of edge application.
Deploying chatgpt-type capabilities in combat will require tailor-made models that can be trained on large computing servers and deployed using embedded AI technology on ruggedized edge systems with mission-specific parameters such as the Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin -integrated Kit-Strike II mission computer.
The Future of Military AI: Charting the Course for the Next Generation of Warfare
Deploying ChatGPT in military AI operations has the potential to significantly enhance military operations in a range of domains. By generating real-world scenarios, simulating conversations, and providing intelligence insights, ChatGPT can help military personnel make more informed and effective decisions through numerous applications . ChatGPT-like functionality has many potential use cases on the battlefield, especially in GPS jamming and denial environments where traditional navigation systems are unreliable.
Some examples include:
- Real-time battlefield translation: chatgpt-based artificial intelligence technology can provide military personnel with real-time translation services to achieve seamless communication between soldiers of different nationalities.
- Fast and accurate threat assessments: In high-risk situations, chatgpt-powered AI can analyze large volumes of data from multiple sources to provide fast and accurate threat assessments, helping military leaders make informed decisions.
- Mission planning and execution: ChatGPT can be used to help military personnel plan and execute missions by providing real-time intelligence and guidance. For example, it can help troops identify and avoid potential hazards and threats, and suggest alternative routes and strategies.
- Communication and Coordination: In environments of GPS jamming and denial, ChatGPT can help military personnel communicate and coordinate effectively, even in the absence of traditional communication systems. For example, it can provide troops with the latest status of friendly and enemy forces and facilitate real-time communication between different troops.
- Tactical Decision Support: ChatGPT can assist military decision makers in tactical situations by providing them with real-time information on enemy positions, movements and capabilities as well as friendly strengths and weaknesses.
- Efficient logistics management: ChatGPT can assist logistics management by analyzing shipping routes, supply chains, and other logistics-related information to identify inefficiencies and optimize resource allocation.
- Improved situational awareness: ChatGPT can be integrated into military vehicles, drones, and other systems to provide improved situational awareness and decision support in real time. AI systems can analyze incoming data from various sensors and sources to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date picture of the operating environment.
AI chatbots trained on natural language models and deployed on rugged edge computers could play a key role in multi-domain environments, providing Soldiers with the real-time information and decision support tools they need to effectively coordinate operations across the battlefield .
We are excited about the possibilities ChatGPT brings (while also mindful of the challenges and concerns) and are eager to support our customers and mission partners in unleashing the potential of generative AI technologies in battle, deployed on purpose-built rugged computing solution.
