Change Summary Explanation
Previous President's Budget funding for FY 2023 reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President’s Budget request did not include out-year funding. Starting in FY 2023, all funding is transferred to establishment of the Office of the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer. Effective February 1, 2022 the Department of Defense established the position of the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer and the Office of the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer (OCDAO), tasked with serving as the Department’s senior official, and a Principal Staff Assistant, responsible for strengthening and integrating data, artificial intelligence, and digital solutions. The realignment in FY 2023 from DDS to CDAO supports the consolidation of the Department’s existing functional efforts in order to align manpower and funding under the OCDAO.
