This is the best summary I could come up with:

Speaking on Friday at a joint meeting in Mountain View, California, defense leaders from each country announced two new plans under Aukus Pillar II, a trilateral security arrangement set up in 2021 that aims to “help sustain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”

AI algorithms and machine learning will also be used to “enhance force protection, precision targeting, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.”

Speaking at the press conference, the Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles said that China’s rising aggression had increased the need for collaboration.

Just weeks ago a team of Australian naval divers were injured by a Chinese warship’s sonar weapon, despite making their presence known to the vessel’s crew.

“Australia expects all countries, including China, to operate their militaries in a professional and safe manner,” he added.

The Pentagon’s recent China Military Power Report noted a significant concern “of an operational incident or miscalculation spiraling into crisis or conflict.”

The original article contains 308 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 50%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

I don’t believe this for a second.

You cannot convince me that DARPA was not using machine learning to track every f****** thing the second they could in the 1980s.

No f****** way they waited until now

All the Chinese have to do is paint their submarines black and the US AI will mistake them for whales or something. Easy. /s

This tells me that the US Navy already has some way of tracking Chinese submarines that isn’t AI, and that when they clearly know where the subs are, people will think “oh it must be that cool new AI”. This is a cover story.
