SpaceX 将加入五角大楼自主无人机技术竞赛

据报道,埃隆·马斯克的 SpaceX 和 xAI 将在一项秘密的五角大楼竞赛中竞争,开发语音控制的自主无人机蜂群技术。该 1 亿美元奖金挑战赛于 1 月启动,将持续六个月。这些公司和五角大楼国防创新单位未回应置评请求。

据周一(2 月 16 日)彭博新闻社报道,埃隆·马斯克位于德克萨斯州的 SpaceX 及其全资子公司 xAI 是入选五角大楼新竞赛的少数几家公司之一。该计划旨在开发先进的蜂群技术,将语音命令转化为数字指令,以同时操作多架无人机。 SpaceX 最近通过一项交易收购了 xAI,将马斯克的主要航天和国防承包商与其人工智能初创公司合并,此事发生在 SpaceX 今年计划首次公开募股之前。该竞赛由五角大楼国防创新单位主办,提供 1 亿美元奖金,并于 1 月启动,为期六个月。 马斯克于 2015 年与人工智能和机器人研究人员一起签署了一封公开信,呼吁全球禁止“进攻性自主武器”,警告不要创造“杀人的新工具”。相比之下,美国国防部长去年概述了一项战略,通过减少官僚主义和支持国内制造来加速无人机开发和部署。 美国还在寻求安全且成本效益高的反无人机方法,特别是在机场和重大体育赛事附近,在今年夏季 FIFA 世界杯和 America250 周年庆典之前,紧迫性加剧。此外,OpenAI、Alphabet 的 Google、Anthropic 和 xAI 去年获得了价值高达 2 亿美元的合同,以扩展五角大楼高级人工智能的使用。路透社无法独立验证彭博新闻社的报道。
