LogInAccording to the company, its Artificial Intelligence Platform will integrate AI into military decision-making in a manner that is both ethical and legal.
Palantir, a software company that specializes in analyzing, integrating, and presenting vast amounts of data for various industries such as finance, healthcare, and government, has announced the launch of the Palantir Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP).
The AIP was showcased in a video released by the company on Tuesday. While the primary function of the system is to integrate large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI's GPT-4 or its alternatives into privately-operated networks, the first demonstration of the AIP's potential was demonstrated in the context of modern battlefield conditions.
During the video, the company showed a military operator monitoring the Eastern European theater discovered enemy forces gathering near the border. The system promptly analyzed the situation and proposed tactical responses to address the perceived threat.
For instance, the AIP was employed to aid in assessing the enemy's composition and capabilities. The system launched a Reaper drone on a reconnaissance mission in response to the operator's request for better images and suggested suitable responses after discovering the presence of an armored element.
While the demonstration of the AIP's capabilities was impressive, Palantir acknowledges the significance of regulating the use of LLMs and algorithms in sensitive contexts, particularly in military operations. The company has developed three key pillars to ensure the responsible use of the technology.
Firstly, the company says the AIP will be deployed across a classified system, allowing it to ethically and legally parse both classified and non-classified data in real time. Secondly, users will have the ability to adjust the scope and actions of each LLM. Finally, the system will implement "industry-leading guardrails" to prevent unauthorized actions.
However, the steps taken to prevent LLMs from "hallucinating," or generating false facts and details, were not explained during the demo which raises doubts about the technology's reliability and effectiveness.
