“China tiene como objetivo dominar el mundo en el espacio de la IA para el 2030”, dijo el Director Conjunto de Inteligencia Artificial del Pent\u00e1gono, el teniente general Michael Groen , a una audiencia convocada por el Atlantic Council para debatir sobre la IA en la seguridad\u00a0 nacional de ese pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
The U.S. military\u2019s top expert on artificial intelligence (AI) said Wednesday that the Pentagon must up its game to ensure American supremacy in a future era where artificial intelligence will determine success on the battlefield.<\/p>\n
China aims to dominate the world in the AI space by 2030, the Pentagon\u2019s Joint Artificial Intelligence Director Lt. Gen. Michael Groen\u00a0told an Atlantic Council-convened audience<\/a>\u00a0gathered for a discussion of AI in national security. Groen said that AI will be a $16 trillion industry by 2030, and will raise GDP significantly for both China and the U.S.<\/p>\n Groen said DOD must reinvent itself to meet the challenge, arguing that the Pentagon will need to do more to bring the branches together and act as a \u201cdoer\u201d instead of a coordinating body. Citing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos\u2019s 2002 directive that all Amazon components must work with one organization-wide data set, Groen said that in the same way the Pentagon must lead its various components to be on more unified footing.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s time for the Department of Defense to have a similar focus on using data to solve problems, to think about their problems through a data lens \u2026 overcoming the cultural obstacles to actually become a competitive enterprise that can outfight any opponent and has the same level of productivity and efficiency that we desire for our taxpayers,\u201d Groen said. \u201cClearly, the competition is around us.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s time for the Department of Defense to have a similar focus on using data to solve problems, to think about their problems through a data lens \u2026 overcoming the cultural obstacles to actually become a competitive enterprise that can outfight any opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n LT. GEN. MICHAEL GROEN, DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE\u2019S JOINT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CENTER<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Acknowledging the difficulties inherent to adaptation for an agency bogged down by bureaucracy, Groen said he is focused on improving DOD\u2019s efficiency as it seeks to take on the Chinese AI machine.<\/p>\n \u201cImplementation in the department, of course, is always a challenge as new technology meets legacy processes, legacy organizations and legacy technology,\u201d Groen said. \u201cImplementation, of course, is the key to successful transformation and implementation is extraordinarily challenging as artificial intelligence and related technologies cross cut not just service lines, but almost every procedural line or process line across the department.\u201d<\/p>\n Groen said China is now executing its 14th five-year plan to meet its goal for\u00a0AI supremacy<\/a>\u00a0by 2030 while the U.S. is now building its 14th AI-based program objective memorandum (POM), which refers to how DOD allots future funding to meet its strategic objectives. Suggesting that the U.S. and China are locked in a neck at neck battle for AI dominance, Groen said, \u201cthose dates, maybe uncomfortably, maybe comfortably, overlap to quite a degree.\u201d<\/p>\n Groen\u2019s remarks were made at an event at which the Atlantic Council\u2019s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security\u00a0unveiled a new report focused on artificial intelligence in national security and defense.<\/a>\u00a0The report warns that \u201cwithout intentional, coordinated, and immediate action, the United States risks falling behind competitors in the ability to harness game-winning technologies that will dominate the kinetic and non-kinetic battlefield of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
