The U.S. Air Force and Space Force are actively promoting their modernization process, and the newly developed generative artificial intelligence system NIPRGPT has become an important part of it. This AI tool similar to ChatGPT aims to improve the efficiency of information acquisition and provide personnel with a safe and efficient online communication, learning and coding platform. It was developed from the "Dark Sword" program of the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Agency and is designed to meet the combat needs of the US military and enhance the skills and flexibility of the force.
The U.S. Air Force and Space Force have recently launched a generative artificial intelligence system called "NIPRGPT" to improve information acquisition and promote the department's modernization process. This AI tool similar to ChatGPT will help people communicate, learn, and code online safely and efficiently.
According to senior Air Force officials, NIPRGPT, although still under development, has achieved positive results and is considered an "extraordinary" technological breakthrough. It will be an important enabler in developing skills and flexibility within the Air Force and is part of a number of modernization initiatives.
NIPRGPT can provide teams with the best tool support after commercial AI solutions pass security review. As more complex features are rolled out, it will give people more opportunities to experiment and learn, and evaluate the performance of different AI models.
The Air Force plans to work with commercial partners to assess the force’s specific needs for generative AI before selecting a technology provider. Some analysts believe that the performance of different AI models in specific scenarios may be different.
NIPRGPT originated from the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate's "Dark Sword" program. The program aims to develop the next generation of deployable software and AI capabilities to support the U.S. military’s operational needs.
Meanwhile, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is also working to eliminate ad hoc approaches and improve the performance and accuracy of military AI. The agency's newly launched "Artificial Intelligence Quantification" (AIQ) project aims to examine and understand AI capabilities and provide mathematical guarantees for the safe and ethical use of autonomous and semi-autonomous technologies.
The AIQ program will be built around specific problems and problem types, establish a rigorous foundation for evaluating AI capabilities, and create model evaluation methods, and will last three years.
The application of NIPRGPT demonstrates the determination of the U.S. military to actively embrace AI technology and apply it to military modernization. In the future, as technology continues to mature and improve, NIPRGPT and similar AI systems will play an increasingly important role in the field of national defense and have a profound impact on military strategy and tactics.
