It is a future where machines will fight machines in cyberspace. That concern was evident in the service\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe cyber technology will secure automated network decisions and defend against adaptive autonomous cyberattacks at machine speed,\u201d the Army wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evidence of the Army\u2019s focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifthdomain.com\/thought-leadership\/2018\/11\/28\/how-artificial-intelligence-can-improve-cyber-systems\/\" target=_blank>AI<\/a> was evident during the 2018 CyCon US conference in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is interested in three primary categories of artificial intelligence attacks, Maj. Nathan Bastian, a researcher at the Army Cyber Institute said during the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, data poisoning is a method in which an attacker inserts malicious information into a data set. Because artificial intelligence relies on these data sets to make decisions, their manipulation blunts machine learning\u2019s effectiveness, Bastian said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, an attack on artificial intelligence can take place by changing the classification methods. For example, if a cat is incorrectly labeled as a dog, than artificial intelligence\u2019s use is mitigated, Bastian said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third, an inference attack, or figuring out where machine learning\u2019s boundaries lie, can be a weapon to defeat artificial intelligence. By discovering the limitations of the machine\u2019s algorithm, Bastian said hackers can manipulate its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Defense has expanded its research into AI in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2018, the service created its AI task force, which is located at Carnegie Mellon University. Projects are initiated by the Army Futures Command. The Pentagon also created its Joint AI Center in the summer of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the CyCon conference, Brig. Gen. Matthew Easley, head of the Army\u2019s new AI task force, said that the Pentagon needs to integrate commercial AI products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe commercial sector is driving current breakthroughs in applications of AI,\u201d Easley said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Easley laid out four principles for what the Army sees as a successful AI project. They include clean data, an articulate use case, talent and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Easley cautioned about the boundaries of machine learning during the event. Limitations of AI can include a sample size that is too small and limited ability to use the machine learning in the field. He also said that AI struggles to detect zero-day attacks, which are programming bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAI is not all that easy,\u201d Easley said. \u201cRealizing the potential of AI will require major transformation,\u201d for the Pentagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research and investments are spearheading how the Army is using AI
