U.S. Cyber Command has introduced a roadmap for integrating artificial intelligence into military cyber operations as part of efforts to scale operations and improve its analytic capabilities and ability to disrupt adversaries.
USCYBERCOM said Friday the roadmap focuses on working with the National Security Agency to advance AI and computing capabilities and outlines over 100 activities across national defense, contested logistics, security and other mission areas.
“The integration of AI is a strategic necessity,” said Michael Clark, the command’s deputy director of plans and policy.
“Our roadmap will incorporate AI into all aspects of our operations to better address cyber threats,” Clark added.
A new task force within the Cyber National Mission Force will oversee the plan’s implementation and address challenges associated with infrastructure development, policy constraints and talent acquisition.
According to USCYBERCOM, the roadmap will include the execution of over 60 pilot projects and 26 new AI integration initiatives, improve industry partnerships and advance sustainable tech development efforts.
