The United States Air Force and Massachusetts Institute of Technology commissioned their lead AI pilot — a training program that uses artificial intelligence — in October 2022. The project utilizes the expertise at MIT and the Department of Air Force to research the potential of applying AI algorithms to advance the DAF and security.
In 2020, the AI Accelerator initiated 10 comprehensive projects that involved the U.S. Air Force and MIT. These strategies were launched as three-year projects and incorporated advance AI research, such as autonomy for augmenting and weather modeling. In other words, these studies were looking for ways to enhance and compliment human intelligence using AI, to improve performance.The DAF and MIT combined to jointly work on the Artificial Intelligence Accelerator.
The project focuses on applying innovative AI prototypes and preparing for future military operations using AI. The Department of the Air Force-Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Accelerator logo.
