General, I have just one other question.
0:02
Um, in in early 2024,
0:05
Congress received a briefing on the
0:07
command's AI roadmap as required by the
0:10
fiscal year 2023 National Defense
0:12
Authorization Act. Given the release of
0:15
the Chinese generative AI model Deepseek
0:18
R1, what steps has the command taken to
0:21
accelerate delivery of the capabilities
0:23
and milestones in this road map and what
0:27
is needed to make certain uh that we
0:30
will be successful in this acceleration?
0:34
Chairman rounds, thanks so much for the
0:38
so over a year ago, we uh produced again
0:42
uh based on a congressional requirement.
0:44
So thanks uh our our AI roadmap that
0:47
laid out a plan for the for the next
0:52
very close partnership with NSA uh and
0:56
uh their their uh artificial
0:58
intelligence experts. And a little over
1:01
a year ago, we decided that we had a
1:05
really good plan from a staff
1:06
standpoint, but where CyberCom could add
1:09
value was in operationalizing these
1:12
capabilities. Uh so we took the majority
1:15
of the staff portion of that AI task
1:17
force and we moved it to the cyber
1:20
national mission force. uh we went out
1:22
and hired some additional AI talent
1:25
really focused on 90-day pilot projects
1:29
that we could evaluate and if successful
1:31
we could scale across the force uh and
1:34
if they weren't successful or didn't
1:36
meet a uh a need that we would then
1:38
focus operation or focus our efforts
1:41
elsewhere. And so over the last 12
1:45
months, we have executed artificial
1:49
intelligence pilots to secure the Doden.
1:52
Right? This is at the edge of the Doden
1:54
network. Uh this is AC across network
1:58
devices and it's at it's at our end
2:01
points. It has been very successful and
2:03
it is where we're moving to in the
2:05
future. We have integrated large
2:08
language models uh into our hunt forward
2:10
kits. We have integrated large language
2:13
models into our offensive capabilities.
2:16
We have partnered very closely with
2:18
DARPA under project constellation and
2:21
continue to transition capabilities
2:24
mostly based on artificial intelligence
2:27
uh to the force. Additionally, Senator,
2:30
uh we have and will continue to work
2:32
with the department on long-term
2:33
resourcing that ensures we maintain uh
2:38
advantage over uh China and any other
2:41
adversary. I will say, you know, we were
2:43
all, you know, paid close attention to
2:45
and were alarmed by the deepseek model.
2:48
All right? But the United States of
2:50
America builds the best software in the
2:52
world. All right? And we believe working
2:54
with private industry, working across
2:57
the government, that unique advantage in
2:59
building the best software in the world
3:01
will allow us to stay ahead of the
3:03
Chinese. Thank you, General.
