We should treat the decision-making of the military acquisition contract and use of algorithms

Now, even the advocates of my research, I do not know if I believe that everything in our society, all the decisions, we are in every enterprise, every one, every institution, and even in our academic and military institutions should be artificially intelligent computer, rather than a person to do. Given that this is true, humans make mistakes, I will give your computer can also, in particular because they are programmed by a person, because things change, the different parameters than the software or algorithm written. Let's continue to discuss this issue, by the second, we?

Not long ago, I read from the Naval Postgraduate School, "contracting as a science," an interesting paper by David five Ram and his issues discussed, including many other things, "Contracting science Why?" He suggested, there are many approach to solving created to determine the weapon system acquisition, the challenge of the military decision-making software, and create a decision tree, the winner can pick on defense contractors bidding for a contract - and do so more effectively to ensure that, no corruption, errors, and fewer challenges to the successful bidder protest, because these things take time, and delay projects, and lead to political fire.

Interestingly, I have been a believe that in the future eRepublic how our government is run. Artificial intelligence computer, we will have to decide the management of our government, military, academic institutions - I believe this is because when a person gives too many parameters, they have the ability to make the best decisions start to fall off. Artificial intelligence computer, often the opposite, more parameters to give help to make the best choice for statistics.

Perhaps a good example, when Watson, IBM's supercomputer to beat the best human risk players, each to their own best guess the correct answer the prospect of statistics. If you add more parameters, it is statistics up significantly, to 99.999%. If our government has done all the right decisions, not good? If we in the acquisition of weapons systems the military option is always the best choice, in order to cope with any future opponents.

If so, in theory, we can do more with less, and save the difference, saving taxpayers a lot of money. In this process, all Americans will be the safety of any domestic or foreign enemy. In any case, I hope you will consider all this, and believe it.
