""War is terrible, war is terrible, war is terrible," he intones, holding my gaze and giving voice to a universal chorus."
"The problem with war, Cukor told me, had always been the humans. 'They're materially corrupt, inefficient, and often fail to match firepower to intelligence.'"
"Launched in 2017, Project Maven ostensibly aimed to use computer vision to sort through thousands of hours of drone footage taken across Asia and the Middle East."
"Cukor and his backers always intended to use AI for much more than surveillance; from the outset, they wanted to target people and objects with the help of AI."
Drew Cukor, a retired Marine Corps colonel, is transforming artificial intelligence at J.P. Morgan. He reflects on the failures of military intelligence and the catastrophic Dieppe Raid.
