Monday, 2 December | 12:45 – 2:15 | Room 330EF | Add to Calendar
Speakers: Ramona Shires, ND, and Robert McCormack, Ph.D., Aptima, Inc.
This tutorial aims to explore the art and science behind utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI in military and industry environments. From understanding the nuances of selecting the right LLM to crafting sophisticated prompts and overcoming implementation challenges, this tutorial provides participants with basic understanding of essential skills necessary for harnessing the power of LLMs effectively. Real-world use cases illustrate LLMs’ practical applications in military and industry settings, addressing military training analysis and design challenges and enhancing proposal development processes. Through these use cases, participants will gain insights into diverse LLM/AI applications. Finally, the tutorial addresses integrating generative AI into military training environments, acknowledging potential operational efficiency enhancements while confronting challenges such as classified environments, data security and organizational change management.
TalX: THE NEXT BIG THING AT I/ITSEC
Augmenting Humans with Compound AI: The Future of Military Training and Wargaming
Tuesday, 3 December | 2:00 | Destination Lounge | Add to Calendar
Speakers: Svitlana Volkova, Ph.D., and Summer Rebensky, Ph.D., Aptima, Inc.
This TalX unveils a groundbreaking vision of compound AI that seamlessly blends human intuition with AI, transforming military training and wargaming. We’ll explore how cutting-edge AI models, rigorously evaluated for transparency and robustness, work in concert to create immersive, adaptive experiences tailored to everyone. Witness the power of AI-generated scenarios that push the boundaries of strategic thinking. Discover how human-AI synergy could redefine operational readiness. Join us on a journey to the frontiers of technology, where the fusion of human creativity and AI capabilities promises to unlock unprecedented levels of performance and decision making across military operations.
FOCUS EVENT
Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Human-AI Teaming: Critical ELSI Needs and Opportunities to Integrate Training and Readiness
Wednesday, 4 December | 8:30 – 10:00 AM | Room 301CD | Add to Calendar
Moderator: Sylvain Bruni, Aptima, Inc.
The NATO SG-278 study on Cognitive Augmentation for Military Applications identified a series of challenges and opportunities related to the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of leveraging new forms of training and operational support (including neurostimulation, neuroaugmentation, and human-AI teaming). This topic is under-addressed and requires more depth and visibility in our community, as evidenced by questions and requests from the 2023 I/ITSEC conference when SG-278 was briefed. This vast new field is actively being researched in several critical domains, such as healthcare, transportation, and public policy. Engaging with and hearing from those working at the forefront of ELSI will preview and inform future work that aligns with the needs of the I/ITSEC community, specifically as we seek to integrate training and readiness more closely and rapidly with artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. This moderated panel will feature perspectives from scientists and practitioners in Government, industry, and non-profit research organizations. The purpose of this special event is (1) to raise awareness about challenges and opportunities related to ELSI in training and ops, (2) to build a network of interested practitioners and decision-makers across government and industry, and (3) to identify priority areas for training and simulation research.
