The U.S. Marine Corps is using artificial intelligence to predict whether recruits will complete their full term in the Corps. The AI initiative aims to identify factors that may impact a recruit’s ability to complete a four-year contract. In 2017, 5% of the entire active component of Marines left the service before completing their terms. The Corps is offering new incentives to retain personnel, but factors like fitness, stress, and exhaustion can still contribute to early departure. The AI system is still in an experimental phase and aims to help recruiters better understand which recruits are likely to complete their four-year term. The Marines are also using AI to plan exercises and operations by analyzing data from past engagements.
