Interim director takes over Joint Artificial Intelligence Center

As he departs, the Defense Department's top artificial intelligence official says the foundation is set for the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center -- but now it must deliver. "The foundational elements are now in place. What we have to do in the course of the next one to two years is deliver. This is about delivery first and foremost," Lt. Gen. Jack Shanahan said during a virtual Mitchell Institute event June 4. "What we have to do is show that we're making a difference."
