Finally a productive use case! Sucks at most stuff but it turns out it's really good at helping kill people. Finally time for these companies to cash in on a tangible application.
I mean, pattern recognition in insanely large datasets is exactly what AI systems we have today are good at, which is also what the article talks about, and the issues and risks this poses in a war. yes, in a military context it enables tactical decisions to be made faster, and war kills people so not really a big eye opener there, however still horrible.
But this ability to analyze datasets that are basically too large for humans to efficiently condense to something meaningful is still valuable in many other aspect outside of military, killing and surveillance (although this is where it is used most extensively it seems)
