You may have already listened to our podcasts on Radio Stockdale or visited the Stockdale Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL) for resources. This is the most recent installment in a series of short films exploring the promise and peril of AI and how the Naval Academy is meeting the challenge and addressing opportunities. In episode three of our 8-part series we close out our conversation about AI implications for the educational process at the Naval Academy. While the Machine Learning Team doesn't win any prizes at the NFL's Big Data Bowl, it learns valuable lessons about the limitations of AI. Naval Academy graduate and NFL player Joe Cardona identifies a key factor AI never considered. Having the perspective of a human expert is essential to effective problem solving now and in the foreseeable future. Future episodes will explore similar factors for problem solving in war. Check back for this, and for future installments.
