From the GAO Science & Tech Spotlight (https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106782), “Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that can create content, including text, images, audio, or video, when prompted by a user. Generative AI systems create responses using algorithms that are trained often on open-source information, such as text and images from the internet. However, generative AI systems are not cognitive and lack human judgment.” Recently, the OMB, DoD, USAF, and USSF have all published various policies and guidance on use of these new technologies for different government and defense use cases. With how rapidly this technology has been proliferating through various aspects of society, educators and researchers need to be able to learn how to effectively use and teach the use of these new capabilities while still following guidance and policies of whatever organization they work for. In an effort to arm the faculty and students at the Air Force Institute of Technology with the knowledge and resources to accomplish their mission of providing superior defense focused education using cutting edge tools and techniques, the AFIT Gen AI working group has developed the AFIT AI Resource Hub. This resource hub contains various levels of policy/guidance, resources available related Gen AI, examples use cases for both classroom and research environments, along with other potentially useful information. This working group was led by Major Mark Bateman, who in this discussion will share insights into the fundamentals of Gen AI and Large Language Models, potential risks and concerns associated with their use, and some potential use cases of this technology.
