Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a top priority for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), and while it offers significant advantages for the nation, its potential benefits are not limited to the U.S. alone. As the DOD works to develop and deploy AI technologies, adversaries are also racing to perfect their own AI tools, intensifying the competition.
