Research abstract

Guardians recognize the power and potential that Generative AI (GAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) deliver through AI chatbots, generative text, and language translation features. According to Lisa Costa, USSF CTO, LLM platforms such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot AI, “will undoubtedly revolutionize our workforce and enhance Guardian’s ability to operate at speed.” However, two primary problems persist with LLMs, as described by Ms. Costa: “We must ensure that sensitive DoD data is safeguarded when using such platforms,” “Valid concerns have also been voiced about the traceability and validity of answers provided by LLMs.”  As a result, in September 2023, the USSF temporarily banned the use of LLMs for Guardians due to the operational security concerns posed by these platforms. The key to addressing these concerns is to create an alternative USSF AI ecosystem that eliminates exposure to outside manipulation and adversarial efforts, and that can be localized accurately to specific USSF mission sets. This will allow Guardians to operate efficiently at speed and maintain critical national security requirements. IntelliGenesis seeks to deliver this very solution with our KrakenAI platform. KrakenAI is a GAI, Full Stack (FS), End to Edge cognitive support solution designed to empower USSF Guardians with a scalable AI-enhanced LLM decision-making capability initially tailored for cybersecurity operations. Our LLM is based on pre-trained work models that operate without connectivity, using relevant cyber datasets to provide specialized support without standard online security concerns.
