Death to all Cowboys
It's obviously a war on horse rustlers, cattle worriers, bushwhackers and other Bush supporters.
Good to see DARPA doing their bit for the new regime.
DARPA AI will trawl petabytes of UAV vid for enemy cows
Renowned Pentagon tech-tomfoolery agency DARPA has announced a new plan to create mighty artificial intelligences. The so-called "Deep Learning" machines will be used to trawl through petabytes of video from robot aircraft prowling the skies - initially, apparently, seeking out threatening horses and cows.

I have trouble identifying some people's orientation. Especially people of certain sizes in certain poses.

And if the term "ship of the desert" were to be used, will they try to program for a quadruped several hundred feet long and painted grey with a funnel?
The StillSuit please. With the straps arranged desert style.
Skynet online again?

Just don't expect to beat it with Cavalry...
Hmm
Couldn't you just get it to map it in 3d (from multiple frames and therefore angles due to UAVs gerenally flying not hovering) then just say "someone riding a large quadraped" rather than "horse" or "camel" or "a centaur" if you accidentally load some mythology in there.
Level 4 Minotaur alert, sir!

Give that man a medal.
Project Pigeon
To avoid the impending Skynet disaster, they could simply employ trained pigeons pecking at cows on the screen
I hear that works.
Artificial intelligence?
Why do I always think "artificial stupidity" whenever I read "AI"?
Don't we already have artificial intelligence?
Isn't artificial intelligence, as opposed to real intelligence, what generated all of that WMD hoopla that resulted in the invasion of Iraq?
Now I'm really worried...
... shouldn't have watched 2 episodes of the Sarah Connor Chronicles last night.
(RoTM icon should be the fit terminator girl)
I thought they already had Artificial Intelligence..
..wasn't that what they used to justify the Iraq war?
Ohhhhh.. you mean the *other* sort of Artificial Intelligence..
NOOOOOOoooooooo!!!!
It's the SHEEP you should be worried about...Chip 'em all, is what i say !
Easy AI Now
Outsource the image analysis to the third world..
IT should only take only a couple of weeks to convert a call center.
