北约一个新的人工智能模型为乌克兰部队提供了一张前线地图，显示俄军无人机活动预计在第二天出现的位置，这是据北约创新中心透露的。
A new NATO artificial intelligence model gives Ukraine's forces a frontline map of where Russian drone activity is expected the next day, per the alliance's innovation center.
北约联合分析、训练和教育中心（JATEC）的一位发言人告诉《商业内幕》（Business Insider），该系统被称为“倡议13号”或“模型13号”，它“将一系列不同的数据转化为一张清晰的预期活动地图”，供指挥官规划第二天的行动。《商业内幕》本月初曾报道过乌克兰宣布该计划，但JATEC现在提供了关于其运作方式的新细节。
The system, called Initiative 13 or Model 13, "turns an array of disparate data into a clear map of expected activity" for commanders to plan their next day of operations, a spokesperson for NATO's Joint Analysis, Training, and Education Center, or JATEC, told Business Insider. Business Insider reported on Ukraine's announcement of the program earlier this month, but JATEC is now providing new details on how it works.
据JATEC介绍，“倡议13号”覆盖接触线后方5至50公里（约3至31英里）的乌克兰领土，并将该空间划分为地理网格。其发言人表示：“对于每个网格，系统会确定无人机预期打击和侦察活动的强度、威胁等级、其变化趋势以及可能的数值范围。”该地图显示第二天的预报，帮助指挥官标出风险区域，以便更好地部署兵力和装备。
Initiative 13 covers areas 5 to 50 km, or roughly 3 to 31 miles, of Ukrainian territory behind the line of contact, and divides that space into geographical cells, per JATEC. "For each cell, the system determines the expected intensity of strike and reconnaissance activity of UAVs, the level of threat, the trend of its change, and the range of possible values," its spokesperson said. The map shows a forecast for the next day, helping commanders to highlight risk areas so they can better deploy their forces and equipment, they said.
他们补充说，该AI模型是在战场数据上训练的，并考虑了以往俄军无人机活动、使用的无人机类型、部署时间和方式、天气状况、地形以及到接触线的距离。“‘倡议13号’不取代当前态势数据和指挥官的决策，”JATEC发言人补充道。
They added that the AI model is trained on battlefield data and considers previous Russian drone activity, what types of drones were used, when and how they were deployed, weather conditions, terrain, and distance to the line of contact. "Initiative 13 does not replace data from the current situation and commander's decisions," the JATEC spokesperson added.
JATEC是北约与乌克兰的联合组织，总部设在波兰，旨在从战争中汲取经验教训和创新。
JATEC is NATO's joint organization with Ukraine, based in Poland, that aims to glean lessons and innovations from the war.
乌克兰国防部在10月中旬表示，名为“倡议13”的项目——该部称之为“13型模型”——已“准备好整合进乌克兰武装部队的态势感知系统”。该部称，这一人工智能模型能以“高概率”预测俄罗斯的无人机袭击。基辅部队使用一套名为“德尔塔”的战场管理系统，该系统将前线数据汇聚到一张交互式地图上，指挥官可通过笔记本电脑、手机或平板电脑访问。
Ukraine's defense ministry said in mid-October that Initiative 13, which it called Model 13, was "ready for integration into the Armed Forces of Ukraine's situational awareness systems." The AI model, it said, could predict Russia's drone strikes with "high probability." Kyiv's forces use a battlespace management system called Delta, which feeds data from the front lines onto an interactive map that commanders can access via laptop, phone, or tablet.
这款预测无人机袭击的人工智能由乌克兰部队与北约盟军转型司令部共同开发，并获得JATEC的支持。乌克兰国防部在最初的声明中还表示，另一款代号为“32号”的用于规划火炮部署的人工智能模型也在研发中，但仍处于原型阶段。人工智能正日益深入乌克兰战争，从协助中程攻击无人机识别并打击目标，到派遣无人地面车辆自主完成补给任务。
The drone-predicting AI was developed by Ukraine's forces and NATO's Allied Command Transformation, with support from JATEC. Ukraine's defense ministry said in its initial announcement that another AI model, dubbed No. 32, for planning artillery deployments was also in the works but is still in prototype stages. Artificial intelligence has increasingly been making its way into Ukraine's war, from helping mid-range attack drones identify and strike targets to sending uncrewed ground vehicles to autonomously complete supply runs.
