Before that, he was a tenured computer science professor at the Naval Postgraduate School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department had been looking both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2021\/12\/08\/pentagon-creates-new-digital-and-artificial-intelligence-office\/\" target=\"_blank\">inside and outside the Pentagon<\/a> to fill the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks in a statement Monday said Martell\u2019s appointment will speed development and fielding of AI, data analytics and machine-learning technologies, areas the department has identified as critically important in an increasingly tech-centric world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe brings cutting-edge industry experience to apply to our unique mission set,\u201d Hicks said. The Defense Department as of April 2021 had more than 685 artificial intelligence projects under its umbrella, including several for major weapons systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martell said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6924435952505368576\/\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn post April 25<\/a> that he was \u201chonored and proud to have been chosen for this role.\u201d He will begin in June, according to the same post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CDAO will oversee the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, Defense Digital Service and the chief data officer, acting as an integrator, coordinator and expeditor. The position reports directly to the deputy defense secretary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ai.mil\/docs\/press_release_220310_deputy_cdao_announcement.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">last month<\/a> named Margaret Palmieri, more of a department insider, as deputy CDAO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The digital-first office achieved initial operating capacity at the start of February, less than two months after it was established. It is expected to be fully up and running later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a March 2021 interview, Martell said when he thinks about what AI specifically is, he finds \u201cthe algorithms mathematically fascinating,\u201d but finds \u201cthe use of the algorithms far more fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut what\u2019s more interesting to me is, what do those correlations mean for the people?\u201d Martell said on the <a href=\"https:\/\/sloanreview.mit.edu\/audio\/less-algorithm-more-application-lyfts-craig-martell\/\" target=\"_blank\">Me, Myself and AI podcast<\/a>. \u201cI think every AI model launched is a cognitive science test. We\u2019re trying to model the way humans behave.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cHe brings cutting-edge industry experience to apply to our unique mission set,\u201d
