Shortly after President Trump issued his vague AI executive order, the US Defense Department outlined a more comprehensive strategy. "The impact of artificial intelligence will extend across the entire department, spanning from operations and training to recruiting and healthcare," DoD CIO Dana Deasy said. Given the concerns about the so-called AI'arms race', that final point will cause a sigh of relief in some people – at least for those who believe it. The DoD will rapidly prototype new innovations, increase research and development, and boost training and recruitment. Rather than AI replacing jobs, the DoD believes it will empower those currently serving: "The women and men in the US armed forces remain our enduring source of strength; we will use AI-enabled information, tools, and systems to empower, not replace, those who serve."
