Military AI organizes the life of citizens
Lovers of conspiracy theories will love this news.
A new startup Siri , a social service for keeping daily notes and a self-learning personal planner, received $ 8.5 million in venture funding yesterday. This unique project is built on the AI engine developed by the DARPA military agency.
The CALO technology (Cognitive Agent that Learns and Organizes) underlying the project was transferred to a startup under license. It is known that the military agency for five years has invested about $ 200 million in its development. They call CALO "the first real step towards artificial intelligence."
A self-learning system is capable of analyzing user activity, establishing logical links between various actions. Thus, over time, the system begins to reasonably predict and predict the activity of the user, which allows her to independently initiate certain actions in advance. Simply put, this AI system does not simply book a place in a hotel, taking into account the current financial state of the "owner", as well as his habits, but does so even before the owner decides to go on vacation.

It is clear that the military agency created the CALO engine not at all for planning vacations, but for completely different purposes. However, many details about the project are still not known. The Siri startup is currently in its early alpha stage.
