Comment by Zachary Burdette

Associate political scientist at RAND Corporation and head of its Center for the Geopolitics of Artificial General Intelligence defense team.
In the short term we see a lot of use already of AI for analysis and decision support. I think the key challenges we face here, it's already baked in and this is happening. The key challenges are figuring out how to make better decisions before we make faster decisions. Part of the problem here is technological, and that recent research has showed that the capability of these models has outpaced their reliability.
