BRETT VAUGHAN CHIEF AI OFFICER , US NAVY
How AI capabilities have developed in the US Navy There ’ s a long history of cutting-edge technology use within the US Navy . According to Vaughan , the Navy ' s experience with AI goes all the way back to the discipline ’ s inception in the 50s . The bulk of the US Navy ’ s experience in AI from then until now has been predominantly in the research and development ( R & D ) arena . During that time , US naval technologists established themselves as global leaders in terms of their expertise in the field of AI . “ We established a Navy Centre for AI Research at the Naval Research Lab in 1981 ,” says Vaughan . “ And today , if you went to find our AI rockstars , our geniuses within the Navy community , that ' s where you ' d find most of them ; however , I think many would be surprised to find AI activity in almost every Example of sector of the service .” an image caption
