Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Opportunities for the Department of Defense

Abstract

Chairman Manchin, Ranking Member Rounds, and members of the committee: Good morning, and thank you for the opportunity to testify today. I'm the president and CEO of RAND, a nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization. Before RAND, I served in the White House National Security Council and Office of Science and Technology Policy, as a commissioner on the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, as assistant director of national intelligence, and as director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, which develops advanced technologies for the U.S. intelligence community. For the past 75 years, RAND has conducted research in support of U.S. national security, and we currently manage four federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) for the federal government: one for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and three for the Department of Defense (DoD). Today, I'll focus my comments on how DoD can best ensure that progress in artificial intelligence (AI) benefits U.S. national security instead of degrading it.
