Army Chief vouches for AI in armed forces

NEW DELHI: Stating that the next revolution in military system would be defined by technology and innovations, Indian Army Chief Gen Bipin Rawat on Friday said vouched for incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in armed forces after some of India’s adversaries spending huge money on such technology.

Addressing the Army Technology Seminar here, Gen Rawat said, “We have identified technologies that need to be incorporated but what we now need to address is how we can incorporate artificial intelligence and big data analysis in our system. We cannot leave these and confine to our glossary of military terms.”

He also added that the issue must be addressed in significant manner and also identified what aspects of artificial intelligence we need to incorporate as support so that they can support our systems and thus improve our future over fighting capabilities. “This is where we are looking for. This is where I think we need the support of the industry,” he added.

Expressing concern over current status of AI here, the army chief said, “As of now what I feel, there is haziness around the concept of artificial intelligence and big data analysis. If we do not work start now, it will be too late because countries around the world including some of our adversaries have moved well forward on this.” (AGENCIES)
