Training shipboard AI without spreading corruption

A proposed alternative to transferring shipboard AI is shared training through an interface that protects each system from corrupted updates.

Question

Should a navy transfer AI systems between ships to reduce training time?

Short answer

Shared exercises and exchanges of experience are suggested as a better approach, provided updates cannot corrupt or override the receiving AI.

Notes

A proposed alternative to transferring complete AI systems between ships is to let them communicate, train together, and run simulations against one another. They could then exchange experience while remaining with their own ships. Transferring systems or files raises concerns about corruption, but shared updates could also carry hostile instructions that override or damage an AI. An indirect interface is therefore suggested as probably the best way to bring in new information while protecting the receiving system.
