U.S. Air Force cadet Joshua Lynch, with no prior coding experience, successfully developed a military application using AI chatbots as part of the U.S. Department of the Air Force–MIT AI Accelerator's Phantom Program. The project aimed to explore how AI can enable nontechnical users to create software solutions for military applications. Lynch used AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to build a prototype that assists in document processing and mission planning. While the AI proved useful for prototyping, it highlighted limitations in handling sensitive information, emphasizing the need for collaboration between technical and nontechnical experts.
