While the disruption experienced from the pandemic is close to behind us, threats to our supply chains are still abundant and can come in many forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s geopolitical climate, specifically Russia\u2019s war on Ukraine and the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s (CCP) human rights abuses has increased tensions in the United States and created new national security risks that will continue to impact global supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/artificial-intelligence\/2023\/08\/10\/pentagon-establishes-task-force-lima-to-study-generative-ai-issues\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1540834806.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Pentagon establishes Task Force Lima to study generative AI issues<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Pentagon sought $1.8 billion for artificial intelligence in its fiscal 2024 budget request.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the U.S. Congress imposed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/trade\/forced-labor\/UFLPA\">Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act<\/a> (UFLPA) to prevent the importation of products from China\u2019s forced labor, it raised the question for both consumers and suppliers: Where are our products and the underlying parts that make up those products coming from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/operations\/our-insights\/taking-the-pulse-of-shifting-supply-chains\">McKinsey\u2019s recent survey<\/a> of supply chain leaders, 45 percent have no visibility into their upstream supply chain or that they can see only as far as their first-tier suppliers. For the U.S. to remediate these supply chain risks at scale; we need end-to-end visibility\u2014giving companies the foresight to keep out bad actors undermining our national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitigating that risk means understanding our supply chains and every party involved in every part or process of those supply chains \u2013 down to who is providing the nuts and bolts. Since understanding the different touchpoints of the supply chain is a massive undertaking, sometimes to the tune of thousands of sub-tier suppliers, organizations can\u2019t rely solely on personnel and spreadsheets to manage the problem. Here AI will need to play an integral role in achieving the scale required to do an adequate job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past few weeks, AI, such as ChatGPT, has taken the global stage as U.S. lawmakers and foreign policy leaders grapple with determining how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/washington-eu-trade-and-tech-council-join-forces-to-stop-ai-harms\/\">govern artificial intelligence<\/a>. President Joe Biden has acknowledged the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2023\/07\/21\/remarks-by-president-biden-on-artificial-intelligence\/\">\u201cenormous promise\u201d<\/a> that AI offers, but as we have seen with other new and emerging technologies, there are challenges that must be evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21287785841916.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21287785841916.jpg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21287785841916.jpg.jpg?resize=300,178 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP21287785841916.jpg.jpg?resize=768,456 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Port of Los Angeles with containers, ships and trucks is shown on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 13, 2021.

Lawmakers approaching AI with skepticism have the right intent, but the regulation of AI needs to be carefully thought out in order to not impede on innovation or current uses of AI that exist to protect human health and wellbeing and our collective national security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acting quickly is in the country\u2019s best interest, but there is a fine line. By leveraging AI, we can keep bad actors \u2014whether they are terrorists, fraudsters, or foreign intelligence agents \u2013 out of our military or industrial supply chains. The widespread adoption of supply chain AI software will empower the U.S. government and industry to comb through billions of records and identify where suppliers and their suppliers may harbor potential risks, creating a level transparency that otherwise would be unachievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprehensive framework<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With big tech companies calling for regulation to put some guardrails around the use of AI, it is the role of lawmakers to heed these warnings and protect against those who may be looking to direct its power at nefarious activities. The need for a comprehensive framework promoting responsible use of AI could be valuable but not at the expense of handcuffing those using it for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what is the right approach to regulation when the technology is already out there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With millions of developers and countless hours poured into creating innovative solutions that drive our operational efficiencies forward at a speed never thought possible, we find ourselves in a bit of a \u2018you can\u2019t stop it, you can only hope to contain it\u2019 situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While negative aspects of AI have received a lot of attention, AI\u2019s role in securing the U.S. supply chain cannot be overlooked. Supply chain visibility is imperative to U.S. national security, and we cannot achieve the scope of visibility we need to secure our supply chain without the application of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Brendan J.
