The Department of Defense (DoD) has been investing in artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics for over 60 years. The DoD has made steady improvements to its data foundation and analytics capabilities, experimenting with AI through research and development, integrating these technologies into business and warfighting functions, and laying the foundation for their use at scale. The DoD's task now is to drive the diffusion of these technologies across the enterprise. The United States and its military possess strong structural advantages in talent, warfighting experience, technology availability, and systems integration. The DoD's adoption strategy aims to accelerate decision advantage by leveraging data, analytics, and AI technologies.
