Artificial Intelligence in Air Force Contracting: Harnessing Technology to Modernize Business Processes
Abstract
Harnessing artificial intelligence has become a priority for the Department of Defense. The 2018 National Defense Strategy calls for the Department of Defense to gain a competitive military advantage, in part through investment in the application of artificial intelligence. Career fields that rely on predictive capability and are data rich are seen as prime candidates for artificial intelligence solutions. This paper discusses how the Air Force Contracting community is positioned to leverage the current capabilities of artificial intelligence in a way that will augment human decision makers in the execution of their mission. The ability to harness artificial intelligence applications will not only enhance business decisions, but will do so in a way that supports initiatives which will result in quantifiable monetary savings for the Department of the Air Force. In order to take full advantage, the career field will need an overarching strategic vision for artificial intelligence, an artificial intelligence minded workforce, and a consolidated effort across the various Air Force Contracting organizations.
