Think algorithmically derived stratagems moving humans around in novel and unexpected ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way that future might manifest is by looking at a place where AI already manages humans: an Amazon warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andrew A. Hill, a professor at the U.S. Army War College, said Amazon\u2019s management of its warehouses is an example of how AI can prepare more broadly for conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t know if you\u2019re aware of how Amazon stocks its warehouses, but they use this system called \u201crandom stow,\u201d Hill said. Random stow is a <a href=\"https:\/\/classic.qz.com\/perfect-company-2\/1172282\/this-company-built-one-of-the-worlds-most-efficient-warehouses-by-embracing-chaos\/\" target=\"_blank\">process<\/a> in which items are unloaded wherever there is space in a warehouse and then scanned into a computer system than can track where the item is located. When it comes time to retrieve an item for delivery, the same computer system directs warehouse workers to the most efficient route for finding the item, which could be stowed throughout the warehouse. Hill spoke as part of a panel at the Army Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence Symposium &amp; Exposition in Detroit Nov. 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat environment is inhuman. It is chaos to us,\u201d Hill said. \u201cBut it works because it is managed by a different kind of intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hill was speaking only of the way the warehouse inventory is organized, though it\u2019s worth noting that workers at Amazon warehouses say they\u2019re under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/business\/archive\/2018\/02\/amazon-warehouses-poor-cities\/552020\/\" target=_blank>intense pressure<\/a> to keep up a grueling pace and are reported to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/4\/16\/17243026\/amazon-warehouse-jobs-worker-conditions-bathroom-breaks\" target=_blank>relieve themselves in bottles<\/a>, with breaks tightly controlled and bathroom facilities few and are far between. But with that commercial warehouse in mind, it\u2019s worth considering how an AI, given the same objectives as a human commander, might organize and direct forces to achieve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy would an AI allocate forces in distinct areas of the battlefield? It could intermingle them and manage them at a granular level. Its categories are way more numerous, in the way that an Amazon warehouse AI manages categories at the shelf level,\u201d Hill said. Instead of distinct groupings of armor, air support, infantry, and artillery, a system run by artificial intelligence and managing a battle could coordinate a single helicopter with a pair of howitzers and an infantry platoon, directly grouping each in the same ad-hoc way that a warehouse worker finds an assortment of items to place into the same package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end result may be the same: a particular tank destroyed and a building cleared of armed defenders, but the path to that objective through a artificially intelligent battle manager could feel almost alien today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJust from a risk management standpoint, I have no idea what AI is going to think about operational risk,\u201d Hill said. \u201cWhat is an AI willing to spend to achieve its objective? The idea of economy of force might mean something very different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are problems for humans to tackle now, while the technology is in its infancy and well before AIs are enlisted to suggest deployments in battle. If one strand of AI on the battlefield is making war as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/newsletters\/unmanned-systems\/2018\/11\/28\/army-imagines-automation-as-seamless-as-in-a-strategy-game\/\" target=_blank>comprehensible as strategy games<\/a>, another is modeling the way AI will change war in games and exercises to try and anticipate the ways it will change combat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese are practical questions for the simulation and gaming community that cannot be answered right now where we are with computation,\u201d Hill said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial intelligence can process information differently than humans, which may lead to novel battlefield deployments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":75263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":26,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[36,26,164],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3144],"class_list":["post-34507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsletters","category-training-sim","category-training-simulation-report"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"G36JY222SRAZTHCBPSYWXBPNPM","arc_canonical_url":"\/c2-comms\/2018\/11\/29\/how-studying-amazon-warehouses-can-improve-battle\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How studying Amazon warehouses can improve battle - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Artificial intelligence can process information differently than humans, which may lead to novel battlefield deployments.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/c2-comms\/2018\/11\/29\/how-studying-amazon-warehouses-can-improve-battle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How studying Amazon warehouses can improve battle\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Artificial intelligence can process information differently than humans, which may lead to novel battlefield deployments.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/training-sim\/2018\/11\/29\/how-studying-amazon-warehouses-can-improve-battle\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-29T19:53:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T18:26:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Kelsey D.
