In a conference on Monday, U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work outlined a key component of modern warfare strategy called Third Offset. The military intends to take advantage of cutting-edge R&D to incorporate AI-human teams to overcome an enemy's network. At the 2016 Global Strategy forum on Monday, Mr. Work noted that products with potential military applications are fast-tracked to enter the global market. "R&D is going down in the public sector, but up in the private sector. Most things that have to do with AI [artificial intelligence] and autonomy are happening in the private sector. And so all competitors are going to have access to it, it's going to be a world of fast-followers. You're going to have an instance where you're not going to have a lasting advantage."
