Abstract
On December 8, 2021, the DSD issued a memo establishing the CDAO as the Department’s senior official responsible for strengthening and integrating data, artificial intelligence, and digital solutions in the Department. The memorandum establishes the CDAO as the “successor organization to the JAIC”. The CDAO reached IOC on February 1, 2022 and will integrate the JAIC, the DDS, the OCDO, and Advana as it approaches FOC on June 1, 2022. The integration of the JAIC, OCDO, DDS, and Advana into the CDAO more comprehensively restructures how the Department approaches the complex and dynamic challenges of becoming a digital, data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled enterprise capable of operating at the speed and scale necessary accelerate the Department’s adoption of data, analytics, and AI to preserve decision advantage. The functions of the CDAO are as follows: lead and oversee 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 integrate the capabilities, personnel, resources, and governance of its constituent organizations, while concurrently sustaining momentum on priority projects that align to CDAO’s mission. These include expanding the enterprise data repository; establishing a responsible AI ecosystem; executing the 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.
