Defense Intelligence Agency Streamlines AI Capabilities For Global Operations
The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is institutionalizing its new, more centralized approach to artificial intelligence (AI) efforts, according to the agency’s chief AI officer, Maj. Gen. Robert Kinney. The DIA has created a new hub-and-spoke organization centered around the Digital Modernization Accelerator (DMA), which aims to consolidate scarce expertise and push out technical support to the agency’s directorates and Combatant Commands worldwide. The agency has also developed a classified generative AI, ChatDIA, and has started sending out small mission integration teams to help COCOMs reorganize their staff processes and workflows to take better advantage of AI. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
