On Dec. 11, the Defense Department’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office announced the establishment of the AI Rapid Capabilities Cell, tasked with helping the department accelerate the adoption and delivery of advanced AI capabilities.
While the United States is at the “cutting edge” when it comes to AI capability development, advancements made by adversaries like China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are accelerating and pose significant national security risks, Dr. Radha Plumb, chief digital and artificial intelligence officer, told reporters during a briefing at the Pentagon.
“We are taking an all hands on deck approach to ensuring the U.S. continues to lead the way and accelerate DoD adoption of these tools, and I’m confident we’re up to the challenge,” she said. “The United States’ decisive and enduring advantage lies in the innovation that’s inherent in [the] commercial sector and the department’s ability to incorporate that into our critical missions.”
Managed by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, the AI Rapid Capabilities Cell, or AI RCC, will be executed in partnership with the Defense Innovation Unit, which will serve as a principal liaison between the department and the national security innovation base.
