How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Everyday Life

You might've heard that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is predicted to add a staggering $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. But do you know how it's revolutionizing your everyday life right now? From healthcare to your daily commute, AI is making significant strides. Let's dive in and explore the incredible ways this technology is affecting us all.

AI and Your Health

Telehealth has become more than a buzzword; it's a lifeline for many, especially during times of crisis. AI-driven platforms are making it possible to have a doctor's appointment from the comfort of your home. Not just that, predictive algorithms analyze a wide range of patient data to forecast potential diseases. Imagine knowing the likelihood of a health condition long before it strikes! But it doesn't stop at patient care. The administrative side of healthcare—think paperwork, appointment scheduling, and billing—is also getting an AI makeover, allowing medical professionals to focus more on what they do best: taking care of you.

Getting Around With AI

If you've ever been stuck in traffic, fantasizing about a world where cars drive themselves, you're in for a treat. Self-driving cars are no longer just the stuff of science fiction. These AI-controlled vehicles promise not only to make driving easier but also safer by reducing human error. Beyond personal cars, AI is optimizing public transportation. Algorithms sift through data to provide the most efficient routes and schedules. Even our traffic lights are getting smarter; they adapt to real-time road conditions, reducing your wait time at red lights.

AI at Home

Your home, too, is getting the AI treatment. Voice-activated devices like Alexa and Google Home are not mere novelties; they're practical tools that can control lighting, temperature, and even your refrigerator. Speaking of energy, AI goes beyond convenience. It's helping us manage our energy consumption by optimizing heating and cooling systems. It's like having a personal environmentalist in your pocket, helping you reduce your carbon footprint one decision at a time.

Managing Money Through AI

Managing finances is not everyone's cup of tea, and that's where AI comes in. Robo-advisors use machine learning to assess market conditions and make investment decisions. You also have an extra layer of security with real-time fraud detection. And if you find budgeting a chore, AI-powered apps are here to help, offering personalized advice tailored to your spending habits.

Navigating Ethical Waters

While AI offers extraordinary benefits, it's essential to consider the ethical implications. Data privacy, for instance, is a significant concern. As we rely more on these intelligent systems, there's the question of how much we're willing to give away in terms of personal information. Beyond that, there's the debate over job displacement and dependency on machines. It's crucial to strike a balance and prioritize ethical development in the AI sphere.

The Future is Bright

Looking ahead, the possibilities seem almost endless. Whether it's art generated by algorithms or AI-driven educational tools that adapt to each student's needs, the future of AI is a canvas of untapped potential. The key is to view AI not as a looming threat but as a tool for furthering human advancement.

To Sum it All Up

AI is more than a technological trend; it's a transformative force impacting our healthcare, transportation, homes, and even our wallets. By proceeding with ethical considerations at the forefront, we can ensure that AI serves as a tool to augment our human capabilities rather than replace them. So, as we stand on the cusp of this digital revolution, let's embrace the endless possibilities AI offers for a brighter, more convenient future.

Kamen Rider Zero-One Liveblog Analysis! Episodes 1-5

Welcome to the start of this little series of mine! As i rewatch Kamen Rider Zero-One i want to break down how well it deals with the topics it presents. A show about sentient androids basically comes prepackaged with loaded questions, so i want to see how well it answers them. Im mostly doing this so i can figure out for myself if Zero-One is a good or bad series, but i'll do my best to be as unbiased as possible

Some notes before we start:

1. The topics ill be looking at are as follows:

- What Zero-One says about the place of AI in society and how that relates to our modern use of it

- What Zero-One says about humanity's potential, as that's a really big theme in the show

- What Zero-One says about the place of an entirely new sentient species in our world. Can humagears coexist with humans and how? Expect a lot of Amazons comparisons

2. I watched Zero-One in 2023. I barely remember anything except the key points in the story

3. My take on AI is that it isn't inherently bad. AI can be used for plenty of good, such as doing jobs humans are incapable of performing and assisting people in their work. HOWEVER the recent boom of AI has also been a massive step back in humanity's progress. As of now, what's being pushed is automation of labor and complete replacement of creativity with generative AI (generative AI has a mountain of other issues but I'll only go into detail about them once they become relevant to Zero-One). The modern road of AI is just big corporations stabbing the working class in the back in order to make their businesses cheaper to run, without providing necessary job positions to those who are laid off because of it.

Now, without further ado: Episodes 1-5!

Topic 1: The Place Of Artificial Intelligence In Society:

Ill start this off by talking about how Hiden Intelligence presents Humagears.

"Humagears are here to support you" is one of the first things Korenosuke Hiden tells us. Hiden as a company advertises Humagear as a means of helping society function. For example, in episode 5's ending we see that a mangaka uses them to help work on backgrounds while he focuses on character art. In addition, Hiden also believes that Humagears are a good mean of automating certain jobs. In these episodes Humagears within the company are used in place of secretaries, desk service and security. We never see a human performing these jobs.

We actually get a better look at what humagears do in episode 5

From what can be deciphered, we have

- Sales

- Office work

- Mass media

- Design

- Education

- Social Welfare

- Medical care

- Information technology

- Architecture

- Transportation

And most notably

- Entertainment and art

This does not immediately mean that Hiden supports artifical intelligence replacing replacing human creativity, however. Episode 5 "The Man's Passionate Manga Method" is all about how using humagears to do all the creative work for you is a bad thing. It leads to a death of motivation and a bitter outlook on life.

On top of that, the very first episode is all about Aruto being fired and replaced by a humagear comedian. On the surfaces this isn't inherently bad. If Aruto truly was that bad and they absolutely needed someone to perform that time, using a humagear as a temporary fill-in until they find a human comedian is a good idea. This applies to all jobs that require contributing to something that's not just your own, in this case an amusement park's work. This isn't what this is about though, as the park owner quite clearly states: "I mean, its all about the humagears these days." This implies that not only are humagears exploited as easy replacements for human workers, but also that Hiden Intelligence doesn't do anything about this. This is the norm in Zero-One's society. I do not believe this is something Hiden Intelligence supports however. Going back to episode five, Korenosuke says that Humagears must help people filled with passion and that "Humagears exist to enrich human lives and makes humans happy." There is no passion or enrichment in replacing human jobs.

The only other comment they make about the use of Humagears is that "The future is going to be about living alongside new technology. It's up to the individual to figure out how they interact with humagears". This is the same episode where Aruto says humagears arent just tools.

I've been talking about Aruto, but i need to mention Fuwa and Yua too. They presence is very much important, as it shows a bigger level of nuance Yuya Takahashi puts into the show. Fuwa is aggressively anti AI, he thinks it is a threat and cannot bring anything good into the world. What's interesting is that his opinion is frequently supported by the story. The mere existence of Magia means Humagears are a potential danger to everyone around, as any of them can be hacked and turned against humanity. Episode 4 also fully sides with Fuwa on everything. From the very beginning he blames humagears for Daybreak and it's confirmed that it was them who caused the meltdown and explosion all those years ago. (There is more to it, but we'll get to that in like 15 episodes). Through Fuwa's viewpoint we can see that the magia very much represent how AI can be used for violence and destruction, similar to how a hammer is made to build, but can also be used to kill. Yua meanwhile is in the middle. She sees humagears as tools, and, like i said, understands that hammers can kill people. She thinks humagears can be used to make society better, but not without serious control of them.

All of this shows that Takahashi is very much aware of how complex the topic of AI is, and encourages us to think for ourselves and consider each perspective.

So, to conclude this section, Zero-One, as of episode 5, is pro using androids to automate work. From hard labor to art this series thinks artifical intelligence has a place there. While the complete replacement of people in certain jobs is... A choice... Zero-One also thinks artifical intelligence should not be used to replace human talent and passion. Can guards, secretaries, desk service, and tour guides care about their job outside of paying bills? Probably, but so far Zero-One implies that society is doing fine that way and does not propose solutions on what to do about misuse of Humagears. Additionally, it does not address what happens to all the people who's jobs were replaced by AI and iirc never does.

Despite this, Zero-One also tells us that AI is not a fix it all solution, it is a loaded idea that comes with it's own problems that need addressing and fixing.

A lot of this has ended up being true in real life too. Companies keep telling us that generative AI is the future that will improve society, but in reality all that it's doing is taking jobs, killing creativity, and promoting anti-intellectualism while forces we can't control weaponize it for malice. We'll see how the show expands on all of this later. As for the in-universe status quo, at best we can say Aruto is aware of all of these issues and is doing stuff off-screen about it 🤷

Topic 2: Humanity's Potential

The stories of Zero-One are very much about how our actions shape the future. That we are the only ones who can make things better and that we can't sit around if we want things to change.

This is shown by humagears being easily influenced by what those around them do. If they are introduced to malice, then they go crazy and destroy everything. If you show them kindness and help them learn how to live, then they will be amazing assistance and even friends and family. This also expands on the topic of AI, and that it will take the form humanity chooses it to take. Once again, "The future is going to be about living alongside new technology. It's up to the individual to figure out how they interact with humagears". Its up to us to shape our future with what we have in our reach.

Topic 3: Coexistence

As of now, the topic of Humagears as a sentient species coexisting with ours is only addressed by Aruto and Metsuboujinrai. Aruto respects humagears. He thinks of them as people. He greets them, he talks to them, he mourns them when they die. He believes humagears should be treated like we treat each other - with respect. As he says, humagears have hearts. He does not like when humagears are abused, driven to the point of breaking, even if they have not reached singularity by that point. He believes humagears lives matter at all stages, since they already perceive the world and develop through their experiences in it. He is fine with replacing broken humagears with back ups, but he doesn't think that should ever be an excuse to treat them like toys to throw away when they break. Aruto thinks we must learn to coexist and get along with this new type of being his grandfather has introduced into the world. Interestingly though, Aruto initially doesn't think Humagears are equal to humans. In episode 1 he refuses to believe humagears can understand comedy. This is rarely, if ever brought up again.

Metsuboujinrai on the other hand think Humanity has to go.... These episodes don't actually talk about why, but they introduce the idea that not everyone wants the two species to live alongside each other. I'll come back to them in another post

The topic of what makes us alive and sentient is... A very complex one. Some think generative AI should be treated as a person, some thing we need to wait until TRUE artificial intelligence is created until we can call it living, while others think no matter what we do we cannot create life out of machinery, regardless of how close it gets to looking and acting like it.

Im personally of the opinion that artifical intelligence can bevribe called truly alive and that creating anything even remotely debatable as a species equal to us is the stupidest idea science has ever considered. We can't even get along when its just us humans. Creating a new type of "life" will only make things more complicated. Lets not do that.

Despite this though, for this liveblog i will be taking Aruto's side. If we created life, we need to take responsibility for it. Its the message the series goes with, similar to Amazons, so i'll be looking at this topic from the way the show wants us to

Ramblings!:

- HOLY fuck the opening is good. I forgot how hard RealXEyez goes

- Hey Azu

- Rising Hopper is my favorite base form

- Love Vulcan's suit too

- The toys have really grown on me. Im thinking about saving up for a Shotriser

- I fucking love Aruto and Izu the goofiest of goofballs i can't wait for them to go through the torment nexus :)

- It is currently unclear whether humagears accept Metsubojinrai's mission by choice or are just reprogrammed. I genuinely don't remember which it is. Hoping its the former. Humagears that received Ark data cannot be reverted. Is this because its a virus or because the humagears themselves are so convinced by Ark's words that they can never trust humans again?

- Jin is referred to as a "lost child" by an amusement park humagear. The forshadowing is STRONG with this one

- No bad music in this show

- The fights in this show are only second to Geats

- I love that this episode two recontextualizes Aruto's catchphrase. In the first episode he said it as an exclamation. The Magia is evil and he will be the one to stop them. Here, he has to kill a Humagear he considers family, so he says it with desperation in his voice. He is convincing himself that its what must be done. He is the only one who can do this, even if it pains him.

- The finishing move text is amazing

- I don't know how to feel about the sushi chef humagear inheriting the business

That's about it! Hope you enjoyed reading this. Not sure how often these will be coming out, but i am definitely finishing this series. I plan to cover all 45 episodes and every movie and spin-off, so stay tuned!

Edit: Part 2!

Are AI-Powered Traffic Cameras Watching You Drive?

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/are-ai-powered-traffic-cameras-watching-you-drive/

Are AI-Powered Traffic Cameras Watching You Drive?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere today. While that’s an exciting prospect to some, it’s an uncomfortable thought for others. Applications like AI-powered traffic cameras are particularly controversial. As their name suggests, they analyze footage of vehicles on the road with machine vision.

They’re typically a law enforcement measure — police may use them to catch distracted drivers or other violations, like a car with no passengers using a carpool lane. However, they can also simply monitor traffic patterns to inform broader smart city operations. In all cases, though, they raise possibilities and questions about ethics in equal measure.

How Common Are AI Traffic Cameras Today?

While the idea of an AI-powered traffic camera is still relatively new, they’re already in use in several places. Nearly half of U.K. police forces have implemented them to enforce seatbelt and texting-while-driving regulations. U.S. law enforcement is starting to follow suit, with North Carolina catching nine times as many phone violations after installing AI cameras.

Fixed cameras aren’t the only use case in action today, either. Some transportation departments have begun experimenting with machine vision systems inside public vehicles like buses. At least four cities in the U.S. have implemented such a solution to detect cars illegally parked in bus lanes.

With so many local governments using this technology, it’s safe to say it will likely grow in the future. Machine learning will become increasingly reliable over time, and early tests could lead to further adoption if they show meaningful improvements.

Rising smart city investments could also drive further expansion. Governments across the globe are betting hard on this technology. China aims to build 500 smart cities, and India plans to test these technologies in at least 100 cities. As that happens, more drivers may encounter AI cameras on their daily commutes.

Benefits of Using AI in Traffic Cameras

AI traffic cameras are growing for a reason. The innovation offers a few critical advantages for public agencies and private citizens.

Safety Improvements

The most obvious upside to these cameras is they can make roads safer. Distracted driving is dangerous — it led to the deaths of 3,308 people in 2022 alone — but it’s hard to catch. Algorithms can recognize drivers on their phones more easily than highway patrol officers can, helping enforce laws prohibiting these reckless behaviors.

Early signs are promising. The U.K. and U.S. police forces that have started using such cameras have seen massive upticks in tickets given to distracted drivers or those not wearing seatbelts. As law enforcement cracks down on such actions, it’ll incentivize people to drive safer to avoid the penalties.

AI can also work faster than other methods, like red light cameras. Because it automates the analysis and ticketing process, it avoids lengthy manual workflows. As a result, the penalty arrives soon after the violation, which makes it a more effective deterrent than a delayed reaction. Automation also means areas with smaller police forces can still enjoy such benefits.

Streamlined Traffic

AI-powered traffic cameras can minimize congestion on busy roads. The areas using them to catch illegally parked cars are a prime example. Enforcing bus lane regulations ensures public vehicles can stop where they should, avoiding delays or disruptions to traffic in other lanes.

Automating tickets for seatbelt and distracted driving violations has a similar effect. Pulling someone over can disrupt other cars on the road, especially in a busy area. By taking a picture of license plates and sending the driver a bill instead, police departments can ensure safer streets without adding to the chaos of everyday traffic.

Non-law-enforcement cameras could take this advantage further. Machine vision systems throughout a city could recognize congestion and update map services accordingly, rerouting people around busy areas to prevent lengthy delays. Considering how the average U.S. driver spent 42 hours in traffic in 2023, any such improvement is a welcome change.

Downsides of AI Traffic Monitoring

While the benefits of AI traffic cameras are worth noting, they’re not a perfect solution. The technology also carries some substantial potential downsides.

False Positives and Errors

The correctness of AI may raise some concerns. While it tends to be more accurate than people in repetitive, data-heavy tasks, it can still make mistakes. Consequently, removing human oversight from the equation could lead to innocent people receiving fines.

A software bug could cause machine vision algorithms to misidentify images. Cybercriminals could make such instances more likely through data poisoning attacks. While people could likely dispute their tickets and clear their name, it would take a long, difficult process to do so, counteracting some of the technology’s efficiency benefits.

False positives are a related concern. Algorithms can produce high false positive rates, leading to more charges against innocent people, which carries racial implications in many contexts. Because data biases can remain hidden until it’s too late, AI in government applications can exacerbate problems with racial or gender discrimination in the legal system.

Privacy Issues

The biggest controversy around AI-powered traffic cameras is a familiar one — privacy. As more cities install these systems, they record pictures of a larger number of drivers. So much data in one place raises big questions about surveillance and the security of sensitive details like license plate numbers and drivers’ faces.

Many AI camera solutions don’t save images unless they determine it’s an instance of a violation. Even so, their operation would mean the solutions could store hundreds — if not thousands — of images of people on the road. Concerns about government surveillance aside, all that information is a tempting target for cybercriminals.

U.S. government agencies suffered 32,211 cybersecurity incidents in 2023 alone. Cybercriminals are already targeting public organizations and critical infrastructure, so it’s understandable why some people may be concerned that such groups would gather even more data on citizens. A data breach in a single AI camera system could affect many who wouldn’t have otherwise consented to giving away their data.

What the Future Could Hold

Given the controversy, it may take a while for automated traffic cameras to become a global standard. Stories of false positives and concerns over cybersecurity issues may delay some projects. Ultimately, though, that’s a good thing — attention to these challenges will lead to necessary development and regulation to ensure the rollout does more good than harm.

Strict data access policies and cybersecurity monitoring will be crucial to justify widespread adoption. Similarly, government organizations using these tools should verify the development of their machine-learning models to check for and prevent problems like bias. Regulations like the recent EU Artificial Intelligence Act have already provided a legislative precedent for such qualifications.

AI Traffic Cameras Bring Both Promise and Controversy

AI-powered traffic cameras may still be new, but they deserve attention. Both the promises and pitfalls of the technology need greater attention as more governments seek to implement them. Higher awareness of the possibilities and challenges surrounding this innovation can foster safer development for a secure and efficient road network in the future.

A dream I had recently:

A vision of a desolate landscape with massive egg-shaped objects covered in square tiles - registration centers

A world perpetually under a bright starry sky or a very cloudy sunset, with artificial lighting, evenly dispersed flat buildings and structures. There are other planets, it seems, but even this one is quite packed with meaningless, evenly spaced concrete, plastic, glass and steel.

This world is scarcely populated by functionally immortal beings. First there are "Others", which are like super-powered versions of a regular human with an alien color palette and an altered personality (a lot more open and confident - not entirely positive or that faithful to the original, more like a confident alter-ego override). These are created through a mysterious process that involves at least one killing, and as a result a new and powerful Other is born "over the human" + sentient eyes on their fingers that act like an additional intelligence for control and emotional regulation of such an advanced being. The "main character" of the story is a woman whose Other looks like a mix of Amethyst and Huntress Wizard, and who, according to trace analysis performed by her fingers, has seemingly been created without murder.

There's also a faceless human in a jade suit - faceless might be an exaggeration, he has a distinct eyebrow ridge and a nose on his cream-colored smooth head. "Human" might also not be quite appropriate, as we'll see later.

At some point later these three meet another Other, who looks as if the aroace flag has adapted to life after an apocalypse. And there *is* something to adapt to - lots of hostile robots and drones that infest the buildings, alien bandits (for example, yeti humanoid owls), etc. Structures and dangers are dispersed very evenly throughout this world - you step out of one cluster and into another, out of a facility with armored drones into sewer canals with bandits.

There is a time when the faceless man is captured by "bandits" and they interrogate him on how to use the remote. The remote, well, looks like a glazed gingerbread button phone, and is a powerful instrument worthy of fear. The faceless man eventually half-shows, half-suggests that it is safe, and the "bandit" leader types a word on it. The remote is a transportation device - any number or word you enter teleports you to a certain coordinate in this world. It is hard to track, but relatively safe because of the uniformity of the world. And so the faceless man disappears into ether (imagine like a video game inventory screen of esoteric text and icons over an abstract blue pattern), where there is a snapshot of him (like a character portrait) looking very disturbing, with cloth-like tears and holes in his face, and he chuckles that his likeness was captured in such a bad state (so he updates himself and the picture updates to). He then falls out of the ether along with the "bandit" leader. (I say "bandit" in brackets because they are not in it for the money, it is a kind of unreal hostile relationship between immortals and semi-mortals that is hard to explain)

Later on, it turns out the immortals of this world are locked in a perpetual battle with a cosmic empire of crystal-looking bugs (which were responsible for the drones and the many hostile machines). They are incapable of killing immortals, so it's a war to break them psychologically - there are colossal crawling "PTSD tanks" that forcefully project visions and sounds of the most traumatizing memories, there are giant diamond-shaped spinning furnaces that create such memories in the first place (a conveyer belt leisurely pulls you onto a horribly fast rotating disk and into a storm of fire where you are burned to ashes - but, of course, you don't die, because you are an immortal. Must be quite a memorable experience - and, for the purposes of the bugs, the characteristic images and sounds of the swirling hellfire are easy to reproduce). They have a mix of medieval feudal and hive-like hierarchy, and the most important one present (politely called on to observe a battle) was a cream-colored grub with smooth geometric sides and two diamond heads - the right one is poorly defined, the left one produces an entire new figure from its mouth (this two-headed asymmetrical grub seems to be the main form of the crystal bugs, with everyone else being a caste, a cyborg and / or robot)

The dream ended when our main characters have come with a plan to counteract all this hellish machinery (that includes the main girl even discarding her immortal form for a moment and acting like an ordinary human).

P. S. Something that is hard to describe or explain with *what* happens, but you simply know through *how* it happens:

1) The bugs are very, very far from truly souring the experience of immortals. It is like a giant game to them, and at most they are avoiding a particular failure state in that game. Some are more serious, like Others, some are more light-hearted and are having fun through all the adventures, like the faceless man. It is also like a game in the sense that immortals have a degree of knowledge and control of their experience of reality unimaginable to mere humans or bugs - in fact, it is suggested that a Matrix kind of situation is going on, and the immortals have either descended into this reality to really, actually just play, or ascended from it into contact with the underlying "back-end software" or another kind of transcendental universality.

Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes the Music World: The Case of "Neural Notes Revolution"

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, permeating sectors from healthcare to industry, education to transportation. This technology, which aims to replicate and surpass human cognitive abilities, promises to revolutionize the way we live and work.

The applications of AI are numerous and ever-expanding: from medical diagnosis to autonomous driving, data analysis to content creation. A particularly intriguing field is music, where AI is demonstrating remarkable potential.

Recently, there has been much discussion about AI-based music generation platforms like "Suno" and "Udio," accused of violating numerous artists' copyrights to train their algorithms. These controversies highlight the complex ethical and legal issues that AI raises in the artistic field.

In this context, the Italian project "Neural Notes Revolution" emerges, demonstrating how, with the aid of AI programs, the study of algorithms suitable for targeted generation of musical styles, voices, song structures, and with adequate post-processing, it's possible to produce musical pieces of any genre and style, in any language, in relatively short timeframes.

The project also leverages other generative AI platforms such as OpenAI's ChatGPT (Microsoft group, of which Elon Musk was a co-founder), Anthropic's Claude AI, and Google's Gemini. These technologies allow for the generation of texts, both original and based on precise or imaginative prompts, in numerous languages, even using expressions typical of specific localities and dialects.

However, "Neural Notes Revolution" still faces some challenges. The results provided by ChatBOTs require careful verification, and in the music field, generation platforms have significant limitations. In particular, "Suno" and "Udio" lack a precise and rigorous syntax that allows for accurate results. Often, the outcomes are even opposite to those desired, forcing a trial-and-error approach. One of the major limitations is the near-total impossibility of having clear style changes within the same song.

Expected future developments include the ability to modify produced songs in a targeted manner. It would be useful to have separate files for the vocal part, the musical backing, and the lyrics in subtitle format. Moreover, there's hope to be able to modify individual parts of text or music, and above all, to have a correct and rigorously respected syntax for the song structure and use of styles.

The use of these platforms raises several issues. On one hand, they offer new creative possibilities and democratize music production. On the other, they raise concerns about copyright, artistic authenticity, and the future of work in the music industry.

In conclusion, while giving space to creativity, we are still far from competing with the styles, voices, and tones of artists of all time. However, in defense of the "new artists" of the AI era, it must be recognized that creativity and skill are still necessary to produce musical pieces of a certain depth. This is particularly relevant in a modern musical landscape that often offers music devoid of artistic and cultural significance. AI in music thus represents both a challenge and an opportunity, requiring a balance between technological innovation and preservation of human artistic expression.

During the recent Northern Edge 2023 exercise, the KC-135 Stratotanker was equipped with new command and control capabilities, marking a departure from its traditional 50-year function of providing fuel support for military aircraft during operations.

Equipped with the Tanker Intelligent Gateway (TIG) system from Collins Aerospace, an RTX company, the KC-135 demonstrated during this exercise its ability to connect different networks, inside and outside the line of sight. This Smart Gateway uses sensor data to make decisions.

Military sensors are getting smarter, but generating a lot of data. To deal with this, different military devices must be able to share information, even if they have not been designed to work together.

To solve this problem, the Intelligent Gateway system transforms disconnected platforms into connectivity access points for data passage. During the Northern Edge, for example, the Intelligent Gateway, combined with a command center and battle space control capability, demonstrated how the KC-135 could serve as a command and control node to conduct battle management and dynamic target selection.

This modified KC-135, provided by the Utah National Air Guard, flew alongside the Multi-Program Testbed, a modified Boeing 727 equipped with advanced sensors from Raytheon (also an RTX company) during the exercise. In this joint operation, the KC-135 transferred target designation data on simulated threats at the tactical boundary, showing its new command and control capabilities.

Major Mike Starley, director of the test detachment of the KC-135 National Guard National Guard Air Force Reserve Command Test Center, highlighted the importance of this advance, stating: "We have only a certain number of surveillance aircraft available, and in a theater as large as the Indo-Pacific, there will be many areas without command and control. However, we will always have a tanker plane present. Now we can make the most of all this available space and use the KC-135, which is already engaged in combat, for command and control."

RMT uses a combination of radar and electronic intelligence sensors to capture information about simulated threats that are then passed on to allied players for improved command and control.

The Multi-Program Testbed demonstrated the ability to collect intelligence data from multiple sources, called multi-INT, while demonstrates data synchronization and prioritization using artificial intelligence and machine learning. This simplified data analysis and improved situational awareness for military aircraft.
