The table stakes are high. What we do now to accelerate and deliver AI to the warfighter will have a profound impact on our nation's ability to field a pre-eminent and capable military force.

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
When Secretary of Defense Esper was asked by Congress what the number one priority for DoD technology modernization ought to be, he responded, "For me it's artificial intelligence. I think artificial intelligence will likely change the character of warfare, and I believe whoever masters it first will dominate on the battlefield for many, many, many years. It's a fundamental game changer. We have to get there first."
