JAIC director: Pentagon's biggest competitive threat? Obsolescence

The Pentagon's top artificial intelligence official warned Tuesday that the department's biggest competitive threat is obsolescence. "The biggest competitive threat is our own obsolescence," said Lt. Gen. Michael Groen, director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center. "I could walk out into the parking lot of the Pentagon, turn on my iPhone and join a data-driven, completely integrated environment. I can get whatever services I want. I can review, I can find, I can research. I can do it all at my fingertips. I can't do any of that on a defense network."
