Military software developers are using generative AI-powered coding assistants to help them modernize decades-old legacy codebases, officials said this week. And the Department of the Air Force Bot Operations Team (DAFBOT), part of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, says it is leading the way.
To employ autonomous weapons systems like pilotless aircraft and other artificial intelligence-powered innovations, the U.S. military will have to overhaul not just its strategy and tactics in every domain, but also the way it tests its technology, according to the Defense Department’s first ever AI ...
Less than 18 months after telling Guardians to quit using ChatGPT and other emerging artificial intelligence tools while the service examined the risks and opportunities they posed, a Space Force leader said Feb. 26 the service has “done so much” to explore and expand AI ...

China thinks it will be able to invade Taiwan by 2027 and has developed a technology edge in many key areas—but it is artificial intelligence that may be the decisive factor should conflict erupt, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said.
The Pentagon nuclear command, control, and communications enterprise is decades old and desperate for an upgrade, says the head of U.S. Strategic Command, and artificial intelligence could help fortify nuclear C3 for its no-fail mission.
A new mobile app developed by a team of joint service members, GigEagle is like a military version of the civilian app Taskrabbit, where users can find individuals to help put together an IKEA cabinet, move a mattress, or other temporary handy jobs. But instead ...
Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, but actual no-kidding military applications can be hard to identify. “If you have a data problem, or if you can make a problem into a data problem, it's probably a good fit for AI,” says Angela Sheffield, an internationally recognized ...
Artificial intelligence could be a force multiplier in logistics and sustainment for managing Air Force systems and technology, but there's no magic wand that can sprinkle AI dust to magically modernize legacy systems, vendors said.
This summer, we witnessed an important milestone in the history of human activity in space: on July 11, the first generative AI tool in space began operation. The tool, a large language model (LLM), aims to assist astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as ...
A pair of chief information officers for Pentagon organizations argued for a more practical approach to artificial intelligence focused on things like streamlining organizational tasks across the Defense Department.
The artificial intelligence that controlled the F-16 on which Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall flew last week was evenly matched in dogfights against a human pilot with more than 2,000 flight hours, Kendall said May 8, as he made the case that autonomy will become ...
