7 Generative AI Adoption in the US Military Our private sector considerations include: 1. Modernizing Gen-AI-enabling technology infrastructure; 2. Applying Relative Value Assessment in a versatile and context-dependent manner; 3. Establishing effective leadership and management of Gen-AI tools and their supporting data sets in increasingly geopolitically sensitive and regulated data markets across healthcare, finance, and telecommunications sectors. The study incorporates commentary throughout the discussion from veterans, senior defense industry executives, investors, academic leaders, and early-stage business owners. Our goal in developing this study is to offer a foundational document that in whole or in part helps drive consistency in Generative AI integration efforts as the technology proliferates across large organizations such as the Department of Defense.
