Gen. Michael Groen, director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, said May 25 at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZHz-Lj7m-8s\" target=\"_blank\">an Atlantic Council event<\/a>. \u201cAnd, although there are conversations about killer robots and all the rest, I think the reality is much more mundane.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs we look at the ecosystem around us, the business environment, the production environment, the investment environment, all driven by artificial intelligence, it\u2019s easy for us to see models for how we need to transform the department,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this is what we\u2019re after.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stakes are high. As the Defense Department bureaucracy and the military services consume increasing volumes of information and seek smart tools that process data in the most efficient and comprehensive way, so are adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating AI in a correct, thoughtful manner can make all the difference, <a href=\"https:\/\/c4isrconf.com\/recap\/\" target=\"_blank\">Groen said<\/a>. The Pentagon as of April 2021 was juggling at least 685 AI projects, including a handful for major weapons systems, according to a Government Accountability Office report released this year. The full extent of the portfolio is undisclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve spent a lot of time in education to help people understand that just like an automobile extends your capabilities in the physical domain, artificial intelligence extends your abilities within the data domain and the information domain,\u201d the general said Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI and its traces can be found across the Pentagon and its many enclaves and alcoves. The department has for years <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\">recognized its value<\/a> as well, describing the tech in a 2018 strategy as rapidly changing businesses, industries and military threats. More can be done, Groen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImplementation in the department, of course, is always a challenge, as new technology meets legacy processes, legacy organizations and legacy technology,\u201d he said, later adding: \u201cWe believe that a lot of the rules have to change, a lot of the thought processes have been rendered obsolete, and, maybe, the cores of how our organizational processes work have to be reevaluated through the lens of artificial intelligence and data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To better coordinate and expedite all things data, AI and analytics, the Pentagon in late 2021 announced a new suite: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/04\/25\/pentagon-hails-lyft-exec-martell-for-ai-post\/\" target=\"_blank\">the chief digital and AI office<\/a>, or CDAO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDAO achieved initial operating capacity at the beginning of February \u2014 less than two months after it was unveiled \u2014 and is expected to be fully up and running in the near future. Craig Martell, the man once in charge of machine learning at ride-share company Lyft, was tapped to lead the digital-first office. It will subsume the JAIC, which Groen led for more than a year, as well as the Defense Digital Service, Breaking Defense reported May 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An inquiry made to the Defense Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\" target=\"_blank\">by C4ISRNET<\/a> on May 25 was not immediately answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Groen recently announced his retirement on LinkedIn, saying he is headed for the exit with \u201chigh confidence in our innovative Marines, our innovative leaders (who do not fear thoughtful change), our mission and our Corps.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cImplementation in the department, of course, is always a challenge,\u201d the director said, \u201cas new technology meets
