The Army\u2019s Aberdeen Proving Ground, for one, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2019\/01\/22\/the-army-wants-to-use-ai-to-prevent-cyberattacks\/\">conducting<\/a> studies into how artificial intelligence can protect soldiers\u2019 tactical networks and communications from cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon\u2019s artificial intelligence strategy comes as both the American military and hackers have embraced machine learning for cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/dod\/2018\/08\/15\/americas-new-intelligence-research-chief-wants-to-predict-cyberattacks-can-it-work\/\" target=_blank>analysis<\/a> by Fifth Domain, more than half of the new challenges and programs announced by the intelligence community\u2019s research arm in 2018 involve machine learning or predictive analytics, which represents a potential boon for cybersecurity researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December, the Pentagon announced that Air Force Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/c2-comms\/2018\/12\/19\/how-dod-is-getting-serious-about-artificial-intelligence\/\">head<\/a> of a new artificial intelligence center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hackers are using artificial intelligence during cyberattacks, Sam Curry, the chief security officer at Cybereason, a threat intelligence firm, told Fifth Domain. Curry said that a particular risk with artificial intelligence is the use of \u201csecond order chaotic systems,\u201d where events cause data inputs to change, using the stock market as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSecond order systems with badly applied, overreacting machine learning are prone to exploitation,\u201d Curry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the release of the artificial intelligence strategy, the Pentagon is attempting to combat significant investments in machine learning by other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOther nations, particularly China and Russia, are making significant investments in AI for military purposes, including in applications that raise questions regarding international norms and human rights,\u201d the strategy says. \u201cThe costs of not implementing this strategy are clear. Failure to adopt AI will result in legacy systems irrelevant to the defense of our people, eroding cohesion among allies and partners, reduced access to markets that will contribute to a decline in our prosperity and standard of living, and growing challenges to societies that have been built upon individual freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon\u2019s
