Yesterday Palantir announced its Artificial Intelligence Platform.

Here's how it transforms the future of military and defence:

AIP has 3 core pillars:

• Deploys LLMs and AI across classified networks & devices
• Connects classified data to create a real-time environment
• Enables security features controlling AI access

I feel guardrails & security are critical for sensitive data here.

Let's dive in

We'll start with an example: you're a military operator.

You get an alert of activity nearby & ask AIP to show more details.

AIP:

• Uses satellite data & AI to build likely battle formations
• Surfaces the idea of deploying a nearby drone to collect video

You task the drone to capture video.

The footage confirms a threat and shows a tank.

You ask AIP what to do next.

AIP:

• Generates 3 courses of action to target the enemy equipment
• Automatically sends these options up the chain of command

Let's take a look at what's happening behind the scenes.

As you ask questions, AIP:

• Traverses information across both public and classified sources
• Enforces which part of the organisation the LLM has access to
• Auto tag & protect data respecting permissions

You now assess the courses of action generated by AIP.

AIP:

• Highlights key information
• Find personnel & armament requirements
• Determines time required & status of supplies

It then establishes the closest unit before building an automated terrain analysis model.

Things get even crazier.

AIP:

• Suggests optimal route based on terrain analysis
• Identifies and disrupts enemy communication nodes

You can then use AIP to summarise and submit the operation plan.

AIP has successfully helped you determine the course of action.

I'm blown away by this application of AI in military situations.

I can only feel it makes AIP a critical tool for modern military operations moving forward.

The takeaway?

AI-powered militaries are quickly becoming a reality.
