The State of AI report is by far the best resource I’ve come across so far. Reading it led me to significantly update my models about how much ML systems are already being deployed. I was particularly surprised by military applications, e.g.
Lockheed have developed a drone that uses ML algorithms to “analyze enemy signals … and compute effective countermeasures on the fly” for disrupting enemy “communications and radar networks without their realizing they’re being deceived”
Heron Systems develop a deep RL agent (called AlphaDogfight) that beat a human pilot 5-0 in a virtual dogfight. US Defense Secretary announced a “real-world competition [between a human pilot and AI] involving full-scale tactical aircraft in 2024” (could just be hype)
the US Army Research Lab published a paper exploring how natural language commands could be used to improve performance of RL agents where there are sparse reward functions, using StarCraft II for their experiments
(and this is just the R&D that’s public...)
Also, AI-based facial recognition is in active use by governments in 50% of the world
