US military researchers are testing artificial intelligence in battle planning. Scientists at the U.S.
Army's Central Research Laboratory have been studying how their soldiers could take advantage of recent advances in artificial intelligence on the battlefield. The researchers did not carry out the experiment in a real military operation or maneuver, but in a video game. To do this, they used an adapted map from the well-known video game StarCraft II and played through the scenario “Operation TigerClaw,” which involves destroying enemy forces.
