The Defense Department needs to embrace artificial intelligence at every leadership level, according to Robert Work, vice chairman of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence and former deputy defense secretary. We are shifting into an era of systems warfare, Work testified during a joint hearing with the House Armed Services Subcommittee on cyber, innovative technologies and information systems and the House Oversight and Reform national security subcommittee on March 12. Our adversaries explicitly say this and say the way we will defeat the U.S. military is to have better operational systems and the way to get there is to inject AI applications and autonomy into the systems.

The United States government is trying to get smarter about getting smart. Throughout the federal government, and especially in defense and national security, artificial intelligence (AI) is getting an increased amount of attention, including the adoption of hefty AI budgets. That should lead to increasing contract opportunities for information technology vendors with high competence in AI.
Federal civilian and defense contract spending for artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) is likely to grow to $4.3 billion in fiscal year 2023, according to a recent report from Bloomberg Government.
In the defense sector, AI/ML contract spending was estimated at $1.4 billion in 2020, with projections reaching $2 billion in 2021; $2.4 billion in 2022 and $2.8 billion in 2023.

WASHINGTON: A hundred flowers are blooming in the Defense Department’s different AI victory gardens, but the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center worries they won’t be compatible.
That’s less a technology problem than an organizational and cultural one, JAIC officials said at AFCEA NOVA’s IC IT Day conference. The Joint AI Center is now working with the rest of the Defense Department to develop processes, policies, and governance for everything from AI ethics to data sharing – a top priority for the Pentagon.
