Few technologies have offered more promise, or have been over-hyped, than big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence suggested: “We can still defend America and our allies without widespread AI adoption today, but in the future, we will almost certainly lose without it.” This panel will attempt to answer the question as to whether the Navy and Marine Corps are committing to these new technologies rapidly enough to deal with our peer adversaries who are already applying these technologies in their militaries.  Additionally, the panel will discuss risk and vulnerabilities, as well as the commitment to AI of potential opponents.
