While much of the attention regarding AI’s impact on the U.S. military has focused on capabilities like targeting and intelligence analysis, acquisition work could benefit as well, according to a recent article in National Defense magazine.
AI is poised to fundamentally change government acquisition work over the next three to five years, though it will require a cultural shift to work in this area similar to the introduction of desktop computers and the internet, says MITRE’s Ryan Novak.
“The people we hire, the skill sets we hire for, the processes we use, regulations, procedures, all that stuff, is going to fundamentally change,” Novak says.
