Gen. Michael Groen, leader of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, promoted the efficiencies of AI, particularly for business systems, on the same day the Biden administration announced a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/breaking-news\/2021\/04\/09\/biden-requests-715b-for-pentagon-hinting-at-administrations-future-priorities\/\" target=_blank>topline defense budget<\/a> proposal of $715 billion, which amounts to an overall decrease, when adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn an era of tightening budgets and focus on squeezing out things that are legacy and are not important in the budget, the productivity gains and the efficiency gains that AI can bring to the department, especially through the business process transformation, actually becomes an economic necessity,\u201d Groen said at a press briefing. \u201cSo in a squeezed play between modernizing our warfare that moves at machine speed and tighter budgets, AI is doubly necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JAIC, tasked with increasing the use of artificial intelligence across the department, wants to drive the Pentagon to operate more like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2020\/08\/25\/pentagon-ai-hub-looks-to-be-the-worlds-best-software-company\/\" target=_blank>data-driven software company<\/a>. That includes establishing data feeds and algorithms that are shared across the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Groen said that implementing those practices would create productivity gains, new insights and improved management across the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt really represents a transformation of our operating model,\u201d Groen said. \u201cThat operating model will have to create a common data environment where data is shared, data is authoritative, [and] data is available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added, \u201cit\u2019s about making our organization, the Department of Defense in this case, as productive and efficient as any of these modern successful data-driven enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, Groen warned that the department\u2019s biggest strategic threat was its own technological <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2021\/03\/30\/jaic-director-pentagons-biggest-competitive-threat-obsolescence\/\" target=_blank>obsolescence<\/a> and called for the department to invest more in emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and resilient networks, that will define the future of warfare. Artificial intelligence and associated technologies underpin the DoD\u2019s plans to stay competitive,  and it\u2019s the JAIC\u2019s responsibly to provide best practices and services to assist organizations on their AI efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Providing those services is core to the organization\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2020\/11\/06\/pentagons-artificial-intelligence-hub-shifts-its-approach-to-now-seek-out-problems\/\" target=_blank>pivot to JAIC 2.0<\/a>, in which it focuses more on providing broad AI-enabling services to department components rather than developing AI products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the JAIC 2.0, \u201cwe measure our success in the success of others,\u201d Groen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe come in as archivists of best practice across the department, and say, \u2018Hey, show us how you\u2019re doing that. Let us learn from you,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then we can share, \u2018Hey, you know, there\u2019s another agency in the department that has a problem very similar to yours and here\u2019s how they\u2019re addressing that.\u2019 So we played broker for information and expertise across agencies, across services across combatant commands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift has recently manifested itself through the release of solicitations to industry for test and evaluation help and data readiness services in an effort to boost its ability to help department components implement artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JAIC is also viewed as central to AI efforts at the Pentagon by the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, a congressionally mandated organization that provided recommendations to boost the country\u2019s AI readiness. The report urges the department to be \u201cAI ready\u201d by 2025 and suggests the JAIC take on a broad range of responsibilities, from developing workforce initiatives to advising components on AI development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The JAIC\u2019s prominence has also increased because of a provision in the most recent National Defense Authorization Act that elevated the center\u2019s reporting responsibility to the deputy secretary of defense, a move Groen said gives the JAIC more insight into department priorities and boosts the stature of the center internally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move allows the deputy secretary and the \u201crest of the department leadership access to the tools and processes to reinforce their priorities, underline our ethical foundations, integrate our enterprises and transform our business processes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bob Work, former deputy secretary of defense and vice chair of the NSCAI, echoed Groen\u2019s comments at the press conference, arguing that AI leadership is core to the department\u2019s future competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have to have top down leadership, you cannot say AI is important and let all of the agencies and subordinate departments figure out what that means,\u201d Work said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial intelligence with business systems will improve cost savings that can be reinvested
