Break and Counter: 500-Tage-Plan der Armee für künstliche Intelligenz soll neue Tests und Verteidigungsmaßnahmen umfassen

From the article

>The Army’s technology acquisition office announced today two new initiatives to go under its 500-day artificial intelligence implementation plan, focusing on testing of the cutting-edge tech for soldiers’ use and, if necessary, defending against enemy’s AI use.

>[Young Bang](https://breakingdefense.com/tag/young-bang/), principal deputy to the assistant secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics & Technology (ASA(ALT)), introduced the two new initiatives here using new hastags: #BreakAI and #CounterAI.

>Bang said #BreakAI is geared toward testing algorithms through traditional government “testing and evaluation” and “verification and validation” processes, ensuring the AI is eventually fully operable and error-free when it gets to the warfighter.

>“It’s really about as we move towards AGI [artificial general intelligence], how do we actually test something that we don’t know what the outcome or the behaviors are going to be?” Bang asked.

>For all its potential, experts have long warned of the difficulty in divining how AI comes up with its answers to questions, likening it to a “[black box](https://umdearborn.edu/news/ais-mysterious-black-box-problem-explained).” As such, Bang said that his office needs industry’s help in implementing this initiative, particularly with developing tools to test its AI, adding that he’ll be reliant on industry for feedback
