Overview
- Maj. Gen. William “Hank” Taylor told reporters at the AUSA conference that he and the Eighth Army are regularly using AI tools to modernize predictive analysis for logistics and operations.
- He said the tools assist with routine paperwork such as weekly reports and with building models to improve individual and organizational decision-making that affects readiness.
- Taylor characterized the use as supporting day-to-day leadership rather than combat decisions, emphasizing speed and timing advantages for commanders.
- He offered no specific examples of AI outputs guiding particular actions, though he described growing personal reliance, saying “Chat and I are really close lately.”
- Coverage notes Pentagon cautions about data exposure and erroneous outputs, and cites broader military AI experimentation, including DARPA and the Air Force’s F-16 algorithmic dogfight tests.
