This content was originally published on BMNT's YouTube Channel. You can find the original video here. In this follow-up conversation to BMNT's June panel "The Race for Autonomy: Navigating a New Battlefield," A'ndre Gonawela talks to Dr. David Broyles, Research Program Director at the Center for Naval Analysis and co-host of "AI with AI", on the challenges facing the Department of Defense when it comes to developing and leveraging autonomous systems and capabilities. Dr. Broyles digs into why he (like our prior panelists) believes the state of autonomy today is ‘brittle', and why the end goal for many is ‘general AI' – the ability for artificial intelligence to behave and adapt like human intelligence can. We discuss Dr. Broyles' belief that an ‘AI Winter' may be approaching, where momentum in the development of systems is slowed or even halted. We then dig into where the Department of Defense is on the racetrack, dissecting the lingering confusion that underlies the differences between unmanned systems and autonomous systems, and how we can better equip DoD leaders in understanding how autonomous systems can operate. Dr. Broyles highlights opportunities to build trust in autonomous systems with the warfighter, in addition to addressing the edge cases and ‘fat tails' that can impede the success of autonomous vehicles.   You can read about our first panel here: https://www.bmnt.com/post/the-race-for-autonomy-is-here Notes from Episode General consensus of state of autonomy is that it is brittle, and still in infancy when it comes to DoD Bigger debate in AI community – end state is general AI, equivalent to human intelligence, adaptable to environment, and process things like a human can. What are the tools to go about this? Two camps that disagree with each other: Neural network reward: Can employ larger neural networks, dump more data, put more processing power, and have reward schemes. Symbolic logic camps – need ways to encode information in symbols that machines can manipulate at higher levels of aggregation. Still trying to figure out the things we really need to make these things work and get rid of the bugs. AI Winter? There have been periods where the momentum in AI development stopped – last one in early 2000s, influenced by availability of graphical processing capabilities (large computational power being dumped on the problem) Are we coming to the limits of the tools and capabilities we've developed? Margins of incremental improvements are diminishing. AVs are a bellwether of progress – if progress isn't delivered in tangible ways, market could lose interest, meaning less financial investment. AI Summer? Alexnet winning image recognition competition in 2014 was first real success of neural networks, motivated community at large, many developments between 2014 through 2019. People were trying many different tools. Where's DOD with developing/leveraging autonomous systems? It's hard to pinpoint where they are on the racetrack. Confusion between unmanned and autonomous systems – can be communicated unclearly, sometimes unmanned systems are mistakenly attributed as autonomous when they aren't. First major step is for DoD to employ more unmanned systems – it's been slow, but CNO actually incorporating uncrewed systems into their force structure direction is a significant step. Lots of little things here and there are going on but there's nothing being coordinate in a big way. CDAO (Chief Digital AI Office, former JAIC), is trying to play a role here but there's more ways in which they can step in. Ensuring trust for warfighters? You can either not have enough trust, or you can overtrust, and the latter gets less attention – the example here is Tesla's autopilot system being overtrusted and then getting involved in deadly crashes. Need to get autonomous systems into the hands of the warfighters – biggest priority. Need to communicate the capabilities better to an operator, need to ensure that the operator can have other cues and/or ways of interacting with the system. Do our DoD leaders understand how autonomous systems can be used/leveraged and how they work? Can we work to educate them quickly? Area of high concern, and cyber discussions are indicative of the difficulties that could be faced as senior leaders have taken some time to embrace and understand the technologies. Very small number of senior leaders who have a good idea of what's going on, and larger number with staff who know what they're talking about, but there's issues with proposals promising to develop tech that simply won't happen. People in approval chain may not understand that these things won't work Arming senior leaders with the key questions, but that's a bandaid – we need more people with basic understandings of how these technologies work. This does not necessarily mean we hire computer scientists, but DoD can work internally to raise the floor on level of understanding – and these areas are beginning to slowly come up to speed. Addressing edge cases? Fat tails – distribution of things that you may run into, most of the stuff is going to fall into a general bin, but there'll be edge cases that'll extend. What happens if a plastic bag runs into a screen of an AV? Uber and others couldn't just throw hundreds or millions of hours of driving data to fix this. Solution is General AI – we can't throw fat tail problems into same bucket. Running simulations still runs into the same problem, and throwing info won't solve it. There really is no good answer, there's not been a good articulation of the answer. We're trying to minimize the edge cases as best we can. However, alternatives like smart roads and sensors can provide added information to help prevent accidents or minimize disruptions in environment. Experimentation – What's Commercial doing that DoD is not doing? Mechanics around how to do things are the primary thing that can hinder experimentation. There's a strange acquisition ecosystem that isn't always friendly to innovative ideas going through standard program office processes. Policy Lagging Behind on Autonomous Systems? There are some new technologies falling under clear regulation – and as long as it doesn't cause any other problem, but because these technologies are so wide ranging they can cause issues. You can forecast some of these things, but there's always an unexpected bit. Is there a general philosophy on how to handle this? There'll always be questions on privacy and safety. Is DoD adequately reaching out to small businesses? It is happening, but biggest barrier (in his view) is DoD contracting and being able to decipher postings, requirements, forms, and etc. Need to take a quantitative approach to assessing effectiveness of this.

We're nearing the one year anniversary of George Floyd's death. What's changed since then? What still needs to change? National Correspondent Clayton Neville reports on where we stand almost 365 days later. How close are we to genetically modified super humans? Maybe not as far as you think. David Broyles of an organization called CNA joins us to discuss. And what's the latest on the presidential ballot audit in Maricopa County, AZ? Jen Fifield of the Arizona Republic stops by to give us the latest. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At one time or another, we've all wished that somehow we could change our human capabilities,  whether it be ways to make the blind see again, get rid of diseases like cystic fibrosis, or simply just be taller or more athletic. Those wild and crazy science fiction ideas may not be that far away. We could, in effect, become superhuman - and in the near future! At least so says David Broyles! Director of Special Activities and Intelligence Teams at the Center for Naval Analyses, David shares the latest info and implications of AI, bio-tech, and genetic engineering. Fascinating for all who are interested in the future!

This week on The Exchange, how the medical victories of the past can help us move forward in dealing with the coronavirus. Today, we hear some little-known stories of medical and scientific innovations that doubled the human lifespan in the 20th century. We talk with the force behind the new PBS Series Extra Life: The Science of Living Longer, Steven Johnson. The series begins this week. Also, science is getting closer to giving people expanded, and some say, superhuman abilities. We talk with researcher David Broyles about the future of superhuman powers. We also have a conversation with Iowa Auditor Robb Sand about state finances and accountability, and his possible political future. And look forward to some community events that are happening this weekend in Siouxland. Finally, we celebrate some of the awards won recently by Siouxland Public Media News. This week is National Police Week with Peace Officer Memorial Day on May 15 th, President Biden called upon Americans to observe

Until fairly recently, cyborg-like enhancements and modifications to humans have been the stuff of science fiction.
