Pentagon research official wants to have AI on every desktop in 6 to 9 months

"We want to have an AI capability on every desktop - 3 million desktops - in six or nine months,"

"We want to have it focus on applications for corporate use cases like efficiency, like you would use in your own company ... for intelligence and for warfighting."

"To add AI to that portfolio means it gets a lot of muscle to it, So I'm spending at least a third of my time -- maybe half -- rethinking how the AI deployment strategy is going to be at DOD."

The Department of Defense plans to deploy AI capabilities to roughly three million desktops within six to nine months to support corporate efficiency, intelligence, and warfighting tasks. The Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office has been restructured and added to the department's research portfolio to emphasize research and engineering priorities similar to DARPA and the Missile Defense Agency. The reorganization aims to strengthen AI research capacity without diverting focus from deployment and innovation. Leadership is reallocating significant time and resources to rethink and accelerate AI deployment strategy and to tailor applications to corporate workloads and operational needs.
