Emerging Technology Shows Promise But Has Key Limitations
The 3rd Mobile Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne division has been integrating artificial intelligence into its planning processes, but has found that AI tools have limitations, particularly in course of action development. According to Col. Ryan Bell, the brigade’s commander, AI was useful in speeding the orders process and testing courses of action, but not in developing courses of action, which requires human expertise. The brigade’s experience was gained during an April rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, La. This was first reported by Breaking Defense.
