The Pentagon's chief digital and AI officer, Radha Plumb, revealed that AI advancements are being leveraged to expedite military kill chains, facilitating faster lethal responses. In an interview, Plumb explained how generative AI aids in scenario planning and offers commanders various response strategies. The kill chain steps—find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess—are crucial in military operations. This admission raises ethical questions as the military embraces AI to enhance its operational effectiveness, reflecting a significant shift in modern warfare tactics.
"The kill chain can be broken down into specific steps - find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess - that enable planners to build and task forces for combat operations."
"Playing through different scenarios is something that generative AI can be helpful with... think creatively about different response options and potential trade-offs in an environment where there's a potential threat."
"We obviously are increasing the ways in which we can speed up the execution of kill chain, so that our commanders can respond in the right time to protect our forces."
