Chief Digital Artificial Intelligence Officer

Abstract

The Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer (CDAO) supports the Department's initiatives to build enduring advantage and build a resilient Joint Force and Defense ecosystem. The CDAO is responsible for strengthening and integrating data, artificial intelligence, and digital solutions in the Department in support of the National Defense Strategy (NDS) and Section 1513 of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2023. The functions of the CDAO are as follows: lead and oversee the DoD’s strategy development and policy formulation for data, analytics, and AI; break down barriers to data and AI adoption within DoD institutional processes; create enabling digital infrastructure and services that support Components’ development and deployment of data, analytics, AI, and digital-enabled solutions; selectively scale proven digital and AI-enabled solutions focused on enterprise and joint use cases; and surge digital services for rapid response to crises and emergent challenges. This also requires CDAO to continue priority projects that align to the mission. This includes expanding the enterprise data repository, establishing a responsible AI ecosystem, executing the AI and Data Accelerator (ADA) initiative, and developing a Data, Analytics, and AI Adoption Strategy. These various lines of effort will support the overarching mission of accelerating the Department’s adoption of data, analytics, and AI to preserve decision advantage across the Joint Force.
