Duality AI, CoVar partner to define ethical standards for future military autonomous systems
by creating a robust, quantitative framework for evaluating their ethical readiness.
The program incorporates an Ethical, Legal and Social Implications( ELSI) advisory group that will aid in establishing a common language for analyzing the ethical performance of autonomous systems.
Duality is providing high-fidelity digital twins of environments, systems and agents – both human and vehicular – enabling the creation of a wide range of operationally relevant scenarios. Falcon’ s integration with autonomous system software allows for in-the-loop simulations, driven by synthetic data streaming from multi-modal virtual sensors.
Duality AI, the company behind Falcon, a leading digital twin simulation platform, has partnered with CoVar to support the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’ s( DARPA) Autonomy Standards and Ideals with Military Operational Values( ASIMOV) program.
ASIMOV is defining a way for assessing the ethical challenges posed by AI and autonomous system decision-making in complex scenarios
Dr. Pete Torrione, CTO, CoVar.“ With GEARS we are defining a new mathematics of ethics, where ethical scenarios and commander’ s intent are represented by knowledge graphs. Falcon’ s capability to ingest these graphs and procedurally generate simulation-ready scenarios is vital for a framework designed to evaluate the ethical readiness of an autonomous system.”
Apurva Shah, CEO, Duality AI, said:“ As a leader in developing responsible AI / ML solutions, CoVar is the ideal partner with whom to advance one of our main goals: helping to transition AI into the real world safely, responsibly and reliably.”
Oracle and AMD collaborate on breakthrough performance for large-scale AI and agentic workloads
AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs will be available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure( OCI) to give customers more choice and more than 2x better price-performance for large-scale AI training and inference workloads compared to the previous generation.
Oracle will offer zettascale AI clusters accelerated by the latest AMD Instinct processors with up to 131,072 MI355X GPUs to enable customers to build, train and inference AI at scale.
“ To support customers that are running the most demanding AI workloads in the cloud, we are dedicated to providing the broadest AI infrastructure offerings,” said Mahesh Thiagarajan, Executive Vice President, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
To support new AI applications that require larger and more complex datasets, customers need AI compute solutions that are specifically designed for large-scale AI training. The zettascale OCI Supercluster with AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs meets this need by providing a high-throughput, ultra-low latency RDMA cluster network architecture for up to 131,072 MI355X GPUs. AMD Instinct MI355X pitches delivery of nearly triple the compute power and a 50 % Eincrease in high-bandwidth memory than the previous generation.
“ AMD and Oracle have a shared history of providing customers with open solutions,” said Forrest Norrod, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Data Center Solutions Business Group, AMD.
“ The latest generation of AMD Instinct GPUs and Pollara NICs on OCI will help support new use cases in inference, fine-tuning, and training, offering more choice to customers as AI adoption grows.”
