Palantir has released a video demonstrating the capabilities of its new AI platform, AIP. It’s far from military use at the moment because the company is still working on it and wants to know if the development will be in demand.

what is known

The system is intended to serve as an “ethical” and “legal” cover for future automation of the military field. In this video demonstration, a military operator tasked with monitoring combat operations allegedly detected the gathering of enemy forces near the border and summoned a ChatGPT-style digital assistant. assistance in the deployment of reconnaissance aircraft, the development of tactical measures in response to aggression, and even the organization of disrupting enemy communications.

Demonstrates how AIP helps assess enemy composition and capabilities, launch a Reaper drone on a reconnaissance mission to improve data, suggest actions if an enemy element is detected, provide command with a list of response options – such as aircraft, artillery or artillery strike. Javelin. The video shows that to understand the situation, the system analyzes numerous indicators, including terrain, the location of objects and troops, and much more.

Demonstration of AIP work: video

The operation of AIP is based on three “core pillars”:

• First, deploying AIP in a classified system, can perform real-time analysis of both classified and unclassified data, in accordance with ethical and legal norms. The company did not detail how it will work.
• The second component is that users will be able to change the scope and actions of each LLM (AIP combines different AI models) and network activity. AIP itself will create a secure digital record of the entire transaction, which is “critical for mitigating significant legal, regulatory and ethical risks in sensitive and confidential environments.”
• The third component is AIP’s “industry-leading protections” that prevent unauthorized system actions.

in the scenario Palantir included a person to prevent wrongdoing, but the video does not explain what steps are taken to avoid system errors.

It is unclear at this time whether the Pentagon is interested and when such a system will be put to use in real conditions.
