- According to Reuters, six researchers from three institutions linked to the People’s Liberation Army published a related paper in June.
- The ChatBIT system is intended to collect and process intelligence and support decision-making, and was trained on 100,000 military dialogue records.
- Other papers describe a Llama-based system for domestic policing and the use of Llama 2 to train airborne electronic-warfare interference strategies.
- Meta public-policy director Molly Montgomery said the People’s Liberation Army’s use was unauthorized and contrary to the company’s rules, but the article says Llama’s open availability prevents Meta from stopping it.
