Special Operations Command is a military leader in trying to adopt artificial intelligence and machine learning for all aspects of warfare. With that commitment, operators have become the military’s top AI testers. We’ll catch up with Chief Data Officer Thomas Kenney to talk about what challenges remain and what insights operators are learning that could help the military scale successes. Some SOCOM AI projects include streamlining logistics, harnessing big data for better-informed battlefield decisions, and even predicting when a tank or a jet needs maintenance to avoid failure at a critical moment.
