Signature Event 7: AI Game Theory: Game Changing or Game Over? (USSOCOM) (Room 330EF)

04 Dec 19
8:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Tracks: Full Schedule, Signature Event, Wednesday Schedule

This panel considers an array of emerging simulation technologies to increase cognition and reduce operational risk to special operations forces (SOF). The technologies under consideration range from virtual/augmented reality to artificial intelligence/machine learning applications. The panelists are members of the United Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), representing a variety of government and commercial experiences, assembled to discuss and further an enterprise strategy toward developing future game-changing capabilities. The overarching focus is mission planning and preparation for Special Operators, including facets of training and analysis. The panelists will describe their respective portfolios and give preliminary thoughts on 3D simulation and artificial intelligence/machine learning optimization. Subsequently, other USSOCOM subject matter experts and analysts will address technical aspects of potential capabilities, including proliferation of interoperable systems and use of common database to achieve best outcomes. Potential questions to drive the panel discussion include: Beyond battlefield lethality, what other gaps might AI address for SOF? How does SOF integrate maintenance training into its predictive maintenance applications of aircraft, vehicles, and/or waterborne vessels? What simulation tools and skills are required to modernize database development and storage from home station to the tactical edge?
