The U.S. Navy is ramping ‌up its AI capabilities to hunt for Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz, news agency Reuters reported citing a recent contract. The $99.7 million contract given to San Francisco artificial intelligence company ​Domino Data Lab could quicken the mine clearing process with a software that can teach underwater drones to identify new ​types of mines in a matter of days. The software integrates data from multiple sensor types, including side-scan sonar and visual imaging systems, and allows the Navy to monitor ​how well various AI ​detection models are performing ⁠in the field, identify failures, and push corrections to improve performance. The U.S. Navy is looking to expand ‌Domino's role ⁠as the AI backbone of a program to make underwater mine detection faster, more accurate, and less dependent on human sailors. The core of Domino's pitch - and the Navy's wager - is speed. Before the company's involvement, ​updating the AI models that power the Navy's unmanned underwater vehicles to recognize ​new or ⁠previously unseen mines could take up to six months. Domino says it has cut that cycle to days.
