The Army will use artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the selection process for promotions, officials announced.
Only humans can make a good judgment call.
AI will help narrow down candidate pools, but human judgment will remain a crucial aspect of the decision-making process.
According to Hope Rampy, commanding general of Army Human Resource Command, enlisted evaluation boards currently review thousands of records, including those of soldiers who are not competitive for promotion.
The Army hopes to develop algorithms that can screen for soldiers who meet prerequisites for promotion, such as certain schooling and job history, to avoid wasting time on ineligible candidates.
