“It lets R2D2 talk to C3P0," Keven Gambold, Droidish’s mastermind and the CEO of government contractor Unmanned Experts, explained to Forbes, recalling the iconic robot duo from Star Wars.
When researchers or government contractors crack the code, these advanced drone systems will launch together, work out amongst themselves how best to achieve their goals and land in tandem — with human pilots intervening only should something go awry. Spurred on by Ukraine’s extensive use of drones to defend against Russian invasion, and by fears of China’s advancing technological prowess, America’s best-funded agency is spending big across research labs, academia and AI tech companies to ensure the U.S. is at the bleeding edge of next-generation drone warfare.
Oh, great. I can’t see how this would lead to any adverse outcomes.
In an early AI experiment Facebook gave two AIs language so they could talk to each other. The AI quickly learned to communicate in a language the researchers couldn’t understand. Facebook pulled the plug.
Guess the military didn’t get the memo.
> communicate in a language the researchers couldn’t understand
The AI was speaking Dutch?
Might you have a link to an article about that? I’d be interesting in learning more, because it sounds a bit like an urban legend of the net.
So it did happen but Facebook didn’t shut the experiment down, but rather they changed the experiment parameters so the bots would stop using their own language.
The article I read said they shutdown the experiment. So, the article wasn’t 100% accurate and the article I read was published in late 2018 or early 2019. So, it was either recycled news or the experiment lasted several years before the bots made up their own language. As the experiment was started in 2017, according to the fact check article linked above.
This is a very convulated way to say you’re going to make a common API
I mean, it can be an API using a format easily put into human speech, and then machine-recognized. Said format would be a language, or even a code, intended for human-machine interaction via speech, like there are codes intended for error correction in various media with varying nature of errors.
So that humans would be able to give voice commands almost in natural language.
Only this wouldn’t be such groundshaking news, older Internet protocols like SMTP and FTP already are human-readable.
This also wouldn’t cost nearly as much as the title implies.
There’s very little in common with using off the shelf drone hardware and software to deliver munitions/act as loitering platforms and this stuff. The Ukraine war comparisons seeny silly.
It consists only of “gonk”
Didn’t microsoft shut down chatbots for doing that
