I’m not sure why this is news. I was interviewed for a position almost 10 years ago to develop software that categorized satellite imagery using heuristics, object detection, and classification. I assumed that similar projects had been going on for decades before.

Much of the ‘AI’ research has been directly (or indirectly) funded by DoD, 3-letter agencies, NATO, and many other countries since the field’s infancy.

Propaganda to counteract the negative press about AI for defense/Project Maven, perhaps.

So propaganda to counter propaganda?
