AI will play a major role in warfare tomorrow, and so will autonomous systems,” Chauhan said in a session themed “Tech Triad: Power, Autonomy and Energy in the Data-centric Age.”. The CDS touched on how AI will help military commanders take the right decisions and influence the outcome of combat.. “Combat today is very complex. It’s happening in multiple domains and realms including physical, synthetic and cognitive. Without automated systems, making timely decisions becomes very difficult. In any combat situation, if you want to win, two things are critical — timely decisions and the right decisions. AI helps us to do this,” Chauhan said..

The CDS pointed out that a huge amount of power will be required to run these systems, adding that energy is closely associated with AI and autonomy.. “India is taking small steps towards AI… we are yet to formulate how we want to use it. So it will be a bit premature to say that independent power structures are a must for the military’s needs for AI. But there will be a requirement of dedicated power to run AI systems for the military in the future,” he added, responding to a question on if militaries need independent energy infrastructure to maintain the resilience of mission-critical AI systems.

Former Missouri House speaker sentenced to prison for COVID relief fraud

 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., — A former Missouri House speaker was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud for misusing federal COVID-19 relief funds for his personal benefit.. Former Missouri House speaker sentenced to prison for COVID relief fraud. Former Republican House Speaker John Diehl received about $380,000 in federal loans for his law firm between 2020 and 2022 through a program intended to help cover operating expenses for businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.. But Diehl admitted in a September plea agreement that he instead used the money for personal expenses, including country club dues, swimming pool maintenance, his home mortgage and vehicle payments for a Tesla, Audi and Jeep. Prosecutors said he used more than half the money to fund his law firm’s defined benefit plan, of which he was the only participant, and also paid off a civil settlement related to his time as state House speaker.. Diehl resigned as House speaker in 2015 after The Kansas City Star reported that he had exchanged sexually suggestive text messages with a college student serving as a Capitol intern. At the time, Diehl acknowledged “making a serious error in judgment by sending the text messages.”. In 2023, the Missouri Ethics Commission imposed a roughly $47,000 fine on Diehl for campaign finance violations, including allegations that he used nearly $6,800 of campaign funds to pay for personal expenses.. Diehl had asked the federal court to spare him from prison, noting that he had already paid back all the pandemic relief funds to the Small Business Administration.. The U.S. attorney’s office had recommended a prison sentence of 21 to 27 months. In addition to prison time, the court on Monday ordered Diehl to pay a $50,000 fine.. “Through his education and public office, Defendant had every privilege and opportunity, and to put it bluntly, he knew better than to engage in the charged fraud scheme,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Hal Goldsmith said of Diehl in a court filing..
