Gen. H.R. McMaster, a onetime Trump administration national security adviser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can also help preempt fights, highlight incoming attacks and expose weaknesses the world over, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/05\/08\/hr-mcmaster-says-the-public-is-fed-a-war-weariness-narrative-that-hurts-us-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\">he said<\/a> May 17 at the Nexus 22 symposium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. must \u201cidentify aggression early to deter it,\u201d McMaster told attendees of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/event\/nexus22\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>daylong event focused on autonomy, AI and the defense policy that underpins it. \u201cThis applies to our inability to deter conflict in Ukraine, but also the need to deter conflict in other areas, like Taiwan. And, of course, we have to be able to respond to it quickly and to maintain situational understanding, identify patterns of adversary and enemy activity, and perhaps more importantly, to anticipate pattern breaks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specific applications of AI, McMaster said, include \u201cearly warning of hostile actions by enemies and adversaries who possess long-range missile and rocket capabilities,\u201d such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/05\/04\/pentagon-must-advance-ai-to-stay-ahead-of-rivals-industry-execs-tell-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russia or China<\/a>. The capability \u201calso applies to North Korea and Iran,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt applies to Houthi rebels in Yemen, to Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, or Hamas in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Defense recognizes the importance of AI and considers it a modernization priority. The 2018 AI strategy, for example, hailed the technology as revolutionary to both national defense and economic security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allowing foreign competitors to get ahead, then, presents grave risks, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2022\/01\/19\/go-armie-green-beret-turned-congressman-names-baby-after-his-beloved-branch\/\" target=\"_blank\">lawmakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the national report on artificial intelligence that says China absolutely is making the investments to surpass us,\u201d Rep. Michael Waltz, a Florida Republican, said in another speech at the event. \u201cThat will not only change the way we conduct ourselves in society and our economy, but certainly in warfare. I\u2019m very concerned about that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon\u2019s unclassified spending on AI and autonomy more than quadrupled to $2.5 billion in fiscal year 2021 from about $600 million in fiscal 2016, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/sgp.fas.org\/crs\/natsec\/R45178.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">the Congressional Research Service<\/a>. The DoD in fiscal 2023 sought a record $130.1 billion research, development and testing fund, and in related documents touted the creation of the chief digital and AI office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of April 2021, the Pentagon was handling at least 685 artificial intelligence projects, including a handful for major weapons systems. The full extent of the portfolio is not clear, as some ventures are shielded from public eyes and AI is often a piece of larger programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe exponential growth we\u2019re seeing in data is already contributing to security, defense, economic development and a range of efforts, from the reduction of carbon emissions to natural disaster response,\u201d McMaster said. Seizing on the opportunities presented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/02\/22\/hundreds-of-ai-projects-underway-as-defense-department-eyes-future-combat\/\" target=\"_blank\">AI, analytics and information sharing<\/a>, he added, can help overcome \u201csome of the most critical challenges we are facing, and help us build a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His remarks were made at the Nexus 22 symposium, a daylong event focused on autonomy, AI and the defense policy that underpins
