Great opportunity!
Project Manager and Systems Engineer at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center
This is a great opportunity for individuals in community college with an interest in NASA. The NASA Community Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) program is currently recruiting until November 25, 2024. Participants in this program engage in mock "missions," interact with NASA Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and have the chance to visit a NASA center. As someone who occasionally volunteers to support this initiative, there's even a possibility of meeting at AFRC during the program. For further information, visit https://lnkd.in/gQm-hiV5.

To hear more about the use of AI in military weapons, check out our episode Unpacking AI Warfare : https://lnkd.in/gTim3n3t

I think AI will start to become a valuable tool to society, when society stops treating it like a cure-all, and exaggerating it's capabilities. We have generative AI, not General AI. At no time would we ever accept a human in safety critical situations that ran an ~80% success rate, so why are we pushing to shove AI in those roles at that same rate? I just had a long discussion with a Veteran Affairs (VA) claims representative who shared with me a statement from the VA that states their wait time was back up to 3+ weeks for claims because they have had to reintroduce "Human intervention" (Their words) into their systems. Apparently the AI tools they used to help them had some major issues. Keep in mind that this is EXACTLY the situation in which we SHOULD be developing AI to assist us. And you want it driving cars, and controlling military weapons?
