No automatic translation into new capabilities
There is very little doubt about the significant impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on just about every aspect of daily life. Discussion and concern about the implementation of AI in different job sectors have reached also the military domain.
AI and ML are overarching concepts that still today may create confusion. While AI highlights a capability of the algorithms to select, optimal or sub-optimal choices from a great space of possibilities, ML depicts the ability of algorithms to model systems by learning from the data these systems produce. Recent advances in deep-learning algorithms combined with an explosion in the amount of available data have paved the way for a wide variety of AI uses in the defence sector and consequently in the field of test and evaluation.
As their implementation is still in progress, benefits and risks are objects of discussion. In this paper both pros and cons will be investigated, underlying that the implementation of AI and ML systems does not translate automatically into new capabilities. The aim is to offer a complete overview in order to come up with solutions that may correct the vulnerable mechanisms.

// L'Autore
Iolanda Cuomo is an Italian Master Degree student enrolled at the course International Relations provided by the University Federico II of Naples. Currently she is part of an exchange programme at KU Leuven University in Belgium. As she has always been keen on geopolitics, she has also attended a geopolitical analysis specialization course provided by Limes, one of the most prominent international affairs journals in Italy. She writes about American foreign and internal affairs for a website called “Il Caffé Geopolitico” and a think tank whose name is IARI (Institute of Analysis and International Relations).Since last December she has been employed in the research centre of her university and she is now part of a research project that is investigating the relationship between AI and employment. The area she is covering now is North America. During her master degree, she was an intern at the Honorary Consulate of Vietnam in Naples where she was in charge of the social medias and public relations. At the moment Iolanda Cuomo is writing a dissertation about the historic evolution of BRICS in the international system. Her main goal is to start working in academia.
