Lawmakers pressured the leaders of the Pentagon’s technology offices to ramp up its efforts to bolster cybersecurity and use of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence as threats from China and Russia continue to grow.
Officials that testified at the hearing detailed the Pentagon’s long list of moves to ramp up its adoption and innovation, including partnering with private companies, contracting the tech sector to help develop software and programs to aid with defense initiatives to get soldiers what they need. Congress and the Biden administration have sought to combat China’s rise through export controls of advanced technology and imposing rules on private corporations to prevent American-made technology helping fuel its military and espionage efforts.
