AUGUSTA, Ga. — Army Cyber Command is training AI agents in various “work roles” to serve alongside humans to operate at machine speed, according to its commander.
“Every agent we create is trained in a work role inside the cyber force,” Lt. Gen. Christopher Eubank, commander of ARCYBER, said on Tuesday at the TechNet Augusta conference. “We’ve created developers, data engineers, host analysts, exploitation analysts. You name the work role, we’re creating those. And then we’re training them to the same standard that humans get trained to. So agents have a work role; they’re JQR [Job Qualification Readiness-approved]. They get trained. They get set on a mission with a human watching and deliver results.”
When those agents make mistakes, he said, they’re taught the way to do it, and the agent goes back in and retrains itself.
