DoD outlines a long term plan for AI implementation

Ever since the US fell behind China in the AI arms race the country has been criticized for not being innovative enough and not focusing on the things that matter. As we outline in this previous post, there are a multitude of reasons why China pulled ahead of the rest of the world. Despite the fact that this is clearly a multi faceted issue the US has neglected to focus on the development of new technologies which includes AI. The DoD has seemingly decided to try and address this. Other than the president's recent executive order which lacked any kind of concrete plan or details describing an AI development strategy the US has not released anything that touches this topic. Shortly after the vague executive order the Department of Defense (DoD) released a 17 page document outlining their AI strategy that supposedly began in 2018.
