| Abstract |
|
The U.S. National Defense Strategy (NDS) declares that future defense spending will focus on AI: The Department will invest broadly in military application of autonomy, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, including rapid application of commercial breakthroughs, to gain competitive military advantages.4 The pursuit of AI development and research outlined by the NDS has been matched with dedicated funding in the 2019 Pentagon budget submission.5 These are overt messages to our near-peer competitors and adversaries, but there is no clear discussion or policy on how this money will be spent in the outlying years. The United States’ main competitors, namely China and Russia, are also investing heavily in AI. In July 2017, China released its “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan,” which outlined efforts to “lead the world” in artificial intelligence by 2030.6 The leadership in Beijing is serious about leveraging breakthroughs in the private sector and utilizing them in a military capacity. Likewise, Russian President Vladimir Putin said recently, “Artificial intelligence is the future not only of Russia, but of all of mankind.”7 From these statements and actions, it is clear that the United States’ main competitors are investing heavily in this technology but, as for the United States, how they will use this technology remains unclear.
