The American army uses a generative prototype artificial intelligence Tool to identify references to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) for the withdrawal of training equipment in accordance with a recent decree of President Donald Trump.
The managers of the army training and doctrine command (TRADOC) – The main command responsible for the training of soldiers, the development of managers and training of directives, strategies and concepts of the service – currently use the AI tool, nicknamed Camogpt, to “examine policies, programs, publications and initiatives for Deia and the results of the report”, according to an internal memo revised by Wired.
The memo followed the signing of January 27 by Trump executive decree Entitled “Restoring America's Fighting Force”, who directed the defense secretary Pete Hegseth to eliminate all Pentagon policies considered to promote what the commander -in -chief declared “non -American, divisive, discriminatory, radical, extremist and irrational theories” concerning the race and the gender, Linguistic dragnet upset until Posts spent on social networks Official American military accounts.
In an email in Wired, the spokesperson for Tradoc, Major of the army Chris Robinson, confirmed the use of Camogpt to review the Deia materials.
Tradoc “will perform and fully implement all the guidelines described in the decrees published by the President. We ensure that these guidelines are made with the greatest professionalism, efficiency and alignment with national security objectives, ”explains Robinson. “Specific details on internal policies and tactics cannot be discussed. However, the use of all the tools of our portfolio, including Camogpt, to increase productivity at all levels can and will be used. »»
Developed last summer to stimulate productivity and operational preparation through the American army, Camogpt currently has around 4,000 users who “interact” daily with him on a daily basis, said Wired Captain Aidan Doyle, a Camogpt data engineer. The tool is used for everything, the development of the complete equipment of the training program for the production of multilingual translations, with tradoc supply “Proof of concept and demonstration” at the annual conference of the American army association last October in Washington, DC, according to Robinson.
While Doyle refused to comment on the details of how tradoc officials probably used Camogpt to seek DEIA -related policies, he described the research process in documents as relatively simple.
“I would take all the documentation you want to examine, order everything in a collection on Camogpt, then ask questions about the documents,” he said. “The way the generation of recovery works is that the more your question is specific to concepts in the document, the more detailed information than the model will provide.”
In practical terms, this means that tradoc officials probably seize a large number of documents in Camogpt and ask the LLM to scrutinize targeted keywords such as “dignity” or “respect” (which, yes, the army is Currently use To screen the past digital content) to identify documents for subsequent alteration and feed them with Trump's prescription.
Using Camogpt, the content of elimination of the content linked to DEIA will probably result in a rapid change in the documentation of the American army. “We compete with” Control + F “in Adobe Acrobat,” explains Doyle.
