Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use it if you hate humor! A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform. It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems.

Shield AI develops our artificially intelligent Hivemind software to enable application to a variety of platforms. Applying AI to hardware systems unlocks new capabilities, including robotic teaming, swarming and ever-improving performance. Shield AI recently had the opportunity to discuss AI for Maneuver and its role as one of the cornerstones of the DoD’s Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) operating concept with the Secretary of Defense. Shield AI co-founder and former Navy SEAL, Brandon Tseng shares some highlights of this discussion including an overview of AI for Maneuver, its relationship with JADC2, and how it can be operationalized to ensure national security and global stability in a world where technology is transforming all phases of conflict. A new generation of aircraft flown by Hivemind to provide persistent aerial dominance across sea, air, and land, on the tactical edge.
