We\u2019re losing ground,\u201d Andrew Moore, director of Google Cloud AI, said during a May 3 hearing of a Senate Armed Services cyber subcommittee. \u201cI\u2019m most worried about our structures. Bringing in massive-scale, superhuman automation means changing organizational structures and change management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric Horvitz, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/naval\/2022\/05\/02\/us-navy-cuts-deal-to-see-microsofts-tools-before-they-hit-the-market\/\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft\u2019s<\/a> chief scientific officer, offered similar guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe U.S. is leading in science, at the core principles and the creative applications, from my point of view,\u201d he told the panel. \u201cThat said, these days technical advances spread around the world like lightning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Department of Defense late last year created the chief digital and artificial intelligence officer position to accelerate all things digital at the Pentagon. The CDAO \u2014 soon to be Craig Martell, Lyft\u2019s machine-learning executive \u2014 will oversee the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, Defense Digital Service and the agency\u2019s chief data officer, and will report directly to the deputy defense secretary. The office is expected to be fully operational this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moore applauded the move Tuesday and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2022\/04\/25\/pentagon-hails-lyft-exec-martell-for-ai-post\/\" target=\"_blank\">wished Martell success<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is how we\u2019re going to succeed, by having a centralized effort to put an artificial intelligence strategy across the whole DoD,\u201d he said. \u201cYou cannot just magic AI on top of existing systems. You have to think about how you\u2019re going to change operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving forward, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/research\/people\/horvitz\/\" target=\"_blank\">Horvitz said<\/a>, there is a need to \u201cget our hands dirty and work hard and then share ideas, insights, across the sectors.\u201d Integrating scientific achievements into the Defense Department\u2019s day-to-day routines will be crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe often think about AI \u2026 as on the battlefield, as kinetics,\u201d Horvitz said. \u201cBut DoD is a huge operation, in peacetime and in war. The logistics, planning, predictive models, employment, back to health care, the VA system \u2014 all can benefit greatly by even basic applications of machine learning, predictions, diagnoses and planning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon recognizes the value of AI and is actively pursuing and investing in it. Some, though, believe it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/opinion\/commentary\/2022\/02\/16\/the-problems-with-the-defense-industrial-base-arent-about-the-contractors\/\" target=\"_blank\">moving too slowly<\/a> or with incorrect priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMake no mistake, our adversaries will capitalize on this technology, using AI to power attacks on our networks as well as increasing their ability to detect our intrusions on their networks and to respond quickly,\u201d Sen. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia Democrat who heads the subcommittee, said at the hearing. Failing to prepare, he continued, \u201cwould be disastrous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Defense Department assessment from 2018 warned that China and Russia are spending significant sums of money on AI for military applications. The investment threatens to erode U.S. technological and operational advantages, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/media.defense.gov\/2019\/Feb\/12\/2002088963\/-1\/-1\/1\/SUMMARY-OF-DOD-AI-STRATEGY.PDF\" target=\"_blank\">the document<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPut simply,\u201d Sen.
