The Department of Defense plans to spend $1.7 billion over the next five years to stand up a new Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, according to new budgeting figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reprograming documents sent to Congress, obtained by C4ISRNET sister publication Defense News, outline the Pentagon plans to spend $5 million to get the center stood up with an estimated $70 million for the new project to be spent in fiscal year 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFunding will enable rapid development and fielding of operational solutions for at least two lines of effort in the first half of FY 2019 following the same method of delivery and program intensity as the Algorithmic Warfare Cross Functional Team (or Project Maven).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
