The Army is laying the groundwork for a sweeping expansion of its artificial intelligence capabilities, creating new career fields as the service races to prepare for what top officials see as a tech-driven future fight.
Service planners are moving to establish a new enlisted military occupational specialty focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning, designated 49B, according to internal service documents. A parallel track for warrant officers is also in the works, aimed at building out a cadre of technical experts embedded across formations. In addition, the Army plans to formalize an area of concentration for officers, opening the door for troops across branches, such as cyber and signal, to build a full career in AI-related fields without leaving their core communities.

Why should the Artificial intelligence field be restricted to women only!
Because they're never wrong
Bah dum tiss.

An USNA computer science major was given an artificial intelligence assignment for one of his classes. He ended up creating a program where you could have a conversation with your computer based on your IQ level.
To test his program he entered 80 and had a conversation with his Soap Operas. He entered 100 and talked about politics. He entered 150 and talked about nuclear physics.
Just to see what would happen he entered a -50 and the computer bumped and belched and sparked and smoked for a good 10 minutes. When it finally settled down it displayed "West Point duty desk, how can I help you?"

Wonder why they didn't go with a 17 or 35 series MOS designator... thanks for posting

17 was already the bastard love child of 25 and 35, maybe they thought throwing it in there was too much inbreeding.

As usual, the Signal Corps will slough off another mission that should be theirs.
