DARPA AI .mil & more

Look up IARPA which is what you want, a branch of DARPA involved with machine learning.

I aprticipated in one of their studies on how to use propaganda channels (major news media) predictive crowd futures outcomes betting, and likely had to do with A.I. botnets influencing media to change political and military outcomes in real time.

So a darpa's AI .mil would be military AI on civilian net?...

DARPA, IARPA and other research shops are development and superiority multipliers. They compose anything useful from bits that are extrapolated to a meaningful whole. Once something tangible is roughly organized, it is compartmented and transferred. Mostly to private top secret shops to be streamlined. (Skunkworks etc.)

Really high value stuff though, goes somewhere else for refinement and testing. I’m guessing to some National priority cut-out, run out of some sub entity operating to the behest of the NSC. Probably has self contained compartments for security, test staff, logistics etc..Definitely not a lot of these exist. If Aliens exist, it’s within one of these.

On the front end has got to be a very very secret think tank that is charged with not just coming up with ideas for development, but how to break up those ideas to cloak the overall task. Probably a very fluid process that overlaps with the research shops cloud sourcing initiatives.

DARPA has probably spun off dozens of lower level AI programs to CIA run tech contractors, which go where needed. (Of course CIA will hog the good stuff). High priority stuff, like complex global assessment capability with critical action capability will go to a deep black cut out and cultivated into as many systems as possible first, then handed over to some deep deep deep black national security element that answers to the NSC only. When that products life cycle completes its handed to whatever appropriate agency it might best assist, or mothballed if necessary. (i.e. NRO advanced telescopes that where sitting unused and handed over to NASA, yet eons ahead of anything NASA had) NRO probably couldn’t transfer them when they became obsolete, hence why they were sitting unused for a while.

IARPA not part of DARPA. It’s run out of ODNI.

I'm sorry but isn't this how the Terminator movies started? I'm not joking, not really. You have a military AI with full internet access and the ability to think on its own?

You want to know exactly how the Terminator project starts?

Watch this video, and you're going to see how it's already here, the ai is just not the same...yet.

Robots will end humanity not zombies

Plenty of exciting and emerging applications for A. I. and the military, imagine this for example for night ops with navy seals.
One of darpas robot dogs, eguiped with its own A. I. armed with its own mounted gun and painted with vanta black paint ( making it extremely difficult to see at night).
Thats one SCARY proposition.

Especially when combined with Darpas mind machine interface.

DARPA N3 developed Nonsurgical Brain Machine Interfaces ...

DARPA, launched its Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program in 2018, seeking to create non-invasive or minimally invasive brain-computer interfaces or neural interfaces to connect warfighters directly through thought to computers or other digital devices to enable fast, effective, and intuitive hands-free interaction

DOD AI BOM
Army looking at the possibility of ‘AI BOMs’

Similar to SBOMs, the Army is looking at potentially adopting AI bill of materials.




Hmmm, things that make you go.

Who today has not read this and is wondering what the hell?

Go back to page one and see.



Let it be known, those who knew, tried...

DARPA has always fascinated me. I often wonder what they have worked on ? Whether it was a failure or a success? Neither matters me. Thank you for posting this information.

Always welcome.

Im interested in this also. Just googled it , and, evidently, was founded in Feb 1958, though its forerunner, ARPA , was in operation prior to this . There was an alleged connection between the Indian Lake Project (ILP) which first piqued my interest , which would actually make sense considering DARPAS mission.

Found people in Telegram interested in DARPA.
Lots of new things about ai and how it is effecting us now.
Not two decades from now, as it was when this thread was first posted.

Chinese global dominance, using AI will go unrestrained if left unchecked and without regulatory action.

Because AI is a growing concern, this thread was bumped.

Do we control AI, or is it already controlling us?

Wonder if AI czar is using IT - Deception -

AI systems are already skilled at deceiving and manipulating humans

Many artificial intelligence (AI) systems have already learned how to deceive humans, even systems that have been trained to be helpful and honest. In a review article publishing in the journal Patterns on May 10, researchers describe the risks of deception by AI systems and call for governments to develop strong regulations to address this issue as soon as possible.

“AI developers do not have a confident understanding of what causes undesirable AI behaviors like deception,” says first author Peter S. Park (@dr_park_phd), an AI existential safety postdoctoral fellow at MIT. “But generally speaking, we think AI deception arises because a deception-based strategy turned out to be the best way to perform well at the given AI’s training task. Deception helps them achieve their goals.”

They (AI) will quote bogus sources in a heartbeat to make those consulting them happy. Useless as f*-all.
