Sean Moriarty on Building Trust and Utility in AI Systems for Defense
Sean Moriarty recently discussed ensuring people trust and understand AI systems used in defense. In a podcast with Daniel Faggella, he stressed the need for end users to grasp how these systems work, especially in critical situations in defense and other areas.
Sean highlighted the importance of explaining things in a way that lay people can understand rather than using complicated language. He believes this approach will help people use AI systems correctly and know what they can do.
In another publication written by Sean Moriarty, he said that to make artificial intelligence (AI) technology become a part of national security more quickly, government and innovation leaders should remember what retired Marine General Jim Mattis said: “Operations only move at the speed of trust.”
Additionally, to create the trust necessary for quicker use of AI and the creation of better tools, the Defense Department and the innovation community should avoid getting caught up in the excitement and pressure to do everything on a large scale. Instead, they should start by focusing on smaller, more manageable steps.
