Good article. A little heavy on the hyperbole but mostly tracks. I sat in on a defense conference this week, and back to back PhD speakers talked about AI. Many of the same facts were presented but they disagreed on what level of autonomy from humans would ultimately be achieved. Right now AI is very useful if you can feed it good data and provide clear directions. Will we reach the point where that human direction will no longer be required, something closer to cognitive thought? I don’t think anyone is quite sure where that ends up.

We have a paid AI tool that is quite good for writing, especially things like capability statements and requirements compliance. It still requires some direction because it doesn’t fully understand the source data and cannot differentiate between data from a past proposal and actual program past performance. For us it’s a very useful tool but still requires human oversight.

On the upside, humanoid robot tech is lagging. So it’s not T1000 time just yet.
