Defense Acquisition System Faces Challenges In Keeping Pace With Rapid AI Evolution
Xtend AI Robotics CEO Aviv Shapira believes that the Pentagon’s defense acquisition system is struggling to keep pace with the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. In an exclusive interview, Shapira argued that the traditional procurement process, designed for slower-evolving technologies, must become more adaptable to effectively acquire and maintain AI-enabled capabilities. The Pentagon recognizes the strategic importance of AI, but Shapira suggests that procurement reform is necessary to fully leverage its potential. This was reported by an unknown source.
