The Pentagon is shopping around for ideas from industry regarding how it might better test and evaluate future artificial intelligence products to ensure they are “safe and effective.”
In a request for information this week, the Pentagon’s Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, or JAIC, seeks input on cutting-edge testing and evaluation capabilities to support the “full spectrum” of the Defense Department’s emerging AI technologies, including machine learning, deep learning and neural networks.
According to the solicitation, the Pentagon wants to augment the JAIC’s Test and Evaluation office, which develops standards and conducts algorithm testing, system testing and operational testing on the military’s many AI initiatives.
The Pentagon stood up the JAIC in 2018 to centralize coordination and accelerate the adoption of AI and has been building out its ranks in recent months, hiring an official to implement its new AI ethical principles for warfare.
“The JAIC is requesting testing tools and expertise in planning, data management, and analysis of inputs and outputs associated with those tools. The introduction of AI-enabled systems is bringing changes to the process, metrics, data, and skills necessary to produce the level of testing the military needs, and that is why the JAIC is requesting information,” Dr. Jane Pinelis, Chief, Test, Evaluation and Assessment at the JAIC, said in a statement. “Testing a ..
