WASHINGTON \u2014 A bill introduced this month by a pair of congressmen would create an office inside the U.S. Department of Defense to align and accelerate the delivery of autonomous technologies for military use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Autonomous Systems Adoption & Policy Act would nest a so-called Joint Autonomy Office within the relatively new Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office<\/a>, or CDAO, according to Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., one of the lawmakers involved, and would shake up a status quo that is \u201cnot going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Defense Department is leaning into AI as a means to buttress abilities on the battlefield and in the back office. Army, Air Force and Navy leaders have all produced plans banking on the technology to augment human decision-making and firepower. Wittman and co-sponsor Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., say particular attention is needed on autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to make sure that the technology that is out there is not just being applied in a spot, quick way,\u201d Wittman said May 17 at the Nexus 23 defense conference<\/a>, hosted by Applied Intuition and the Atlantic Council at the National Press Club in Washington. \u201cAutonomy holds great promise in many different systems, and we don\u2019t want it limited by how one service branch sees autonomy. We want to make sure that it\u2019s looked at from a broad perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 600 AI projects were underway<\/a> at the Pentagon as of early 2021, according to a public tally. The joint office envisioned by Wittman and Ruppersberger would provide a single point of accountability for the incorporation of autonomy across the military, among other responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen in the Pentagon where there has been movement towards autonomy at a faster pace than has happened in the past,\u201d Wittman said. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to have unity of purpose, it needs to be in a single place. It needs to be resourced from a single perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wittman serves on the House Armed Services Committee and leads its tactical air and land forces panel<\/a>. Ruppersberger co-chairs the House Army Caucus and is a member of a defense appropriations subcommittee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDAO was established in December 2021 and hit its first full strides months later. Billed as an overseer and expeditor of all things AI and analytics, it subsumed what were the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, the Defense Digital Service, the Advana data platform and the chief data officer\u2019s role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked if he or Ruppersberger have spoken with CDAO boss Craig Martell<\/a> about the legislation, Wittman said there have been \u201csome preliminary conversations with folks\u201d to shape it. Defense Department officials, he said, are \u201csituationally aware of the things we\u2019re trying to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
