Marines defeating AI using Metal Gear Solid techniques. (from the book “Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” by Paul Scharre)

[text] PEOPLE Al WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD MEANWHILE Al O human with a weapon looks different. To improve their algorithm the DARPA team spent a week with a group of Marines out at a test site. For six days the Marines walked around and the engineers refined their algorithm for detecting people. Phil said On the seventh day I said Were done. Were flippingit Now the Marines would try to defeat the Al system. They parked thetabot in the middle of a traffic circle and the Marines had to approach it undetectefdf starting from a long distance away. If any Marines could get all the way in and . touch this robot without being detected they would win. Iwanted game A on what would happen. G v T . Eight Marinesnot a single one got detected Phil said Al system not with traditional camouflage but with clever tric side of the Al systems testing regime. Two somersaulted fpr 300 meters got detected. Two hid under 2 cardboard box. You coud hear them giggling the whole time. Like Bugs Bunny in a Looney Tunesa Elmer Fudd in a cardboard box. One guy My favorite Phil said he fidd smPPed 2 fir tree and walked like a fir tree. You can S hge and thats about all you see. The Al system had been trained to detect humans We f fiot humans somersaulting hiding in a cardboard box disguised as a tree. So these simple tricks which a human would have z Sufficient to break the algorithm. i
