Los autores de este informe de la RAND , analizaron las iniciativas actuales del Departamento de Defensa (DoD) para la adquisición de IA generativa . Entrevistaron a 18 expertos del Departamento de Defensa, del sector privado y de organizaciones gubernamentales de investigación para identificar los requisitos de fuerza y las capacidades de IA disponibles comercialmente.
Key Findings and Recommendations
- To effectively compete and counter adversaries, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) needs to enable the influence community with generative artificial intelligence (AI), but there is a lack of substantial investment and unity of effort at present.
- Generative AI can dramatically improve analysis, operational planning, and assessment of influence activities; however, generative AI technology presents a tool, not the answer, for addressing DoDʼs rapidly evolving challenges.
- Effective acquisition of generative AI will require a strategic, flexible approach to ensure that users obtain the needed capabilities and a sustainment process that covers the spectrum of capabilities from enterprise to bespoke.
- No enterprisewide plan or strategy currently addresses generative AI implications or opportunities as they relate to influence activities or operations in the information environment.
Bottom line up front: Generative AI can improve analysis, operational planning, and assessment of influence activities, but it is a tool, not the answer, and maximizing its potential will take dedicated effort in several areas.
