1/ An announcement by the US Army that it is creating a new career pathway for officers to specialise in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) has prompted Russian concern that it may leapfrog their own military AI/LM capabilities. ⬇️

2/ Alexander Lyubimov, a Russian military volunteer and ally of the imprisoned Igor 'Strelkov' Girkin, writes on his Telegram channel:

"At the end of December, an important yet largely unnoticed event occurred."

3/ "The US Army officially announced the creation of the military occupational specialism "Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Officer."

4/ "This signifies a serious and long-term approach to integrating AI into all military processes, and an opportunity for officers to consistently and systematically build a career in AI.

5/ "Conclusions for us. Currently, the Russian and Ukrainian Armed Forces objectively possess the most experience in using unmanned systems.

6/ "The US Army has clearly decided not to try to quickly catch up with our experience, but to immediately establish a radical systemic superiority by leaping to the next organizational level.

7/ "Importantly, the era of drones in the narrow sense is already ending, and the era of the most widespread use of AI in combat is upon us, when drones (unmanned systems) will be the "arms" of AI.

8/ "Moreover, I would like to point out the most important and terrifying application of AI. This is not target recognition, nor is it autonomous drones.

9/ "This is a new level of operational planning. When complex multi-domain operations are planned down to the second, and plans are adjusted within seconds if necessary. Not hours or days.

10/ "It's quite possible that we saw an example of this new level of planning in the Venezuela operation. We weren't shown the use of new technical means, but we did see a very, very well-planned operation.

11/ "I would like to be wrong in my assumptions about the role of artificial intelligence in creating new forms of American superiority in [military] management."
