The one important principle to building difficult System of Systems is Modularity.
I think that a modular approach and philosophy should be use to building of AI Systems as well. It can be a modular combination of different Neural Networks into Big Hierarchical systems etc. But in current time I don't see an implementation of this in a practice.
What is your opinion regarding to this issues? What is the better way to ahead?
Thank you, Aparna Sathya Murthy ! Your confirmation is very important.
That’s really true. As I see the main issue is people are hunger for the applications other than imagination/research and innovation. Other than trying to understand the biological behavior of the intelligence we try to perform synthetic task completion simply automation. As I believe our intelligence is not centralized, it has more sub modules that can produce collective intelligence. In the synthetic world we can research about this using modular intelligence (e.g. sub NN’s into bigger ones or collective intelligence). But we need deeper analysis with better imagination and philosophical suggestions.
Yes, Nalan Karunanayake ! Absolutely! Without Modular concept, we lost a synergy effect
Dear Aparna Sathya Murthy is correct. Moreover, the cost of a highly modularized AI or other system at a design, development, production, utilization, and services stages are well eventually appreciated by increased maintainability, flexibility, operability, quality of functionality and continues serviceability, as compared to private, locally spread, and custom design systems. Hence, it's a cost/investment vs superiority of system parameters trade off. The larger and more complex are system requirements, the higher is cost to built and service it. So that the needed economic effect of highly modularized system ought to offset the necessary expenses. Perhaps, military system requirements and practice don't necessarily follow this general industry approach.
Dear Len Leonid Mizrah , thank you for your additional comments.
Regarding to your sentence that " military system requirements and practice don't necessarily follow this general industry approach" I propose to read this new publication about the use of Modular design in NATO:

Dear Vadym Slyusar ,
Thanks for the interesting link. NATO's interest in a well modularized AI system is quite obvious. Unlike industrial typical budget justification for AI modularized systems, I guess in this case a NATO centralized development seems to be more efficient, than budgeting for the same purpose each country separately.
