How a machine can understand the command intent

With recent technological advances, commanders request the support of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled systems during mission planning. Future AI systems may test a wide range of courses of action (COAs) and use a simulator to test each COA’s effectiveness in a war game. The COA’s effectiveness is however dependent on the commanders’ intent....

Human- versus Artificial Intelligence

AI is one of the most debated subjects of today and there seems little common understanding concerning the differences and similarities of human intelligence and artificial intelligence. Discussions on many relevant topics, such as trustworthiness, explainability, and ethics are characterized by implicit anthropocentric and anthropomorphistic...

Adaptive agents for Fit-for-Purpose Training

Adaptive Agents for Fit-for-Purpose Training

Simulators and games provide contextually rich environments, enabling learners to experience the relations between actions, events and outcomes. In order to be effective, learning situations need to be tailored to the needs of the individual learner. Virtual characters (or agents) that, in real time, select, adapt, and exhibit the behavior that...

Six Challenges for Human-AI Co-learning

The increasing use of ever-smarter AI-technology is changing the way individuals and teams learn and perform their tasks. In hybrid teams, people collaborate with artificially intelligent partners. To utilize the different strengths and weaknesses of human and artificial intelligence, a hybrid team should be designed upon the principles that...

Virtual characters that work: fit-for-purpose behavior of virtual entities in training simulations

Realizing the potential of simulation for training demands that virtual players (the Non Playing Characters, or NPCs) behave in a believable fashion and in conjunction with the training objectives. To demonstrate ‘fit-for-purpose realism’, an NPC should adhere to relevant protocols, norms and values of the situational context (“believability”),...
