The strategy prioritizes maintaining a military advantage over Russia and China and calls for the Pentagon to increase investment in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The National Defense Strategy also calls for reforming the business and acquisition practices within the Defense Department, which Griffin described at the conference as outdated. <br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the current acquisition system was designed, the United States\u2019 technological advantage was largely uncontested, Griffin said. This allowed the Pentagon to engage in a lengthy acquisition process with no risk of a serious challenge from adversaries. However, those defense acquisition practices now put the country at a serious disadvantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \u201cIf the decision is [between] how can I be fair to everyone rather than [do] what\u2019s best, we\u2019ll always be behind,\u201d Griffin said. \u201cWe can either maintain this process or maintain preeminence, but we probably can\u2019t do both.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fueling these concerns is the fact that China\u2019s government, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/home\/2018\/03\/15\/how-is-china-developing-ai-technology-so-much-faster-than-the-us\/\">unconstrained by such bureaucratic processes<\/a>, has been particularly focused on developing artificial intelligence. The Chinese state council recently issued a well-funded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newamerica.org\/cybersecurity-initiative\/blog\/chinas-plan-lead-ai-purpose-prospects-and-problems\/\">national strategy<\/a> designed to harness the power of artificial intelligence with the goal of making the nation \u201cthe world\u2019s primary AI innovation center\u201d by 2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Michael Griffin, the under secretary of defense for research and engineering, has expressed concern that Pentagon acquisition practices
