It\u2019s really no different in the strategic competition with other nation states who have an ability to harness their data and can access the compute required to actually do something with it. When I look at our adversaries, they now have the same ability that the commercial sector has to harness massive amounts of data and generate decision advantage with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spirk noted that if the department continues to accelerate on its data journey, it will remain the pacing threat for the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spirk highlighted the recent creation of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2021\/12\/08\/pentagon-creates-new-digital-and-artificial-intelligence-office\/\" target=\"_blank\">chief data and artificial intelligence office<\/a>, or CDAO, as key to demonstrating what the department\u2019s data driven future looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe deputy secretary of defense has even now decided \u2026 that we are going to create a chief digital and artificial intelligence office [that] will bring together, at a minimum, the components of the Defense Digital Service, the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and the chief data office so that we can move even more aggressively and faster into this data centric future for the department,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials say bringing those three organizations under one office will break down stovepipes and drive faster progress in those areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t view it as a bureaucracy. If anything, I think the establishment of this activity knocks down some bureaucratic walls because it puts all of us under one vision that a CDAO can come in and lead,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhat I think this means is the [deputy secretary of defense] is doubling down again on [a] data driven future for the department and ensuring this isn\u2019t a passing fad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDAO was preceded by the DoD\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defense.gov\/News\/News-Stories\/Article\/Article\/2601981\/dod-aims-to-transform-itself-into-a-data-centric-organization\/\">\u201cCreating Data Advantage\u201d memo<\/a> in May. Spirk described the memo as a \u201cseminal moment\u201d for the department, in which Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks articulated a clear vision ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is still unclear who will lead the new office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the DoD maintains is current data journey, it should remain the
