House demands AI update from Pentagon as threats from China, other adversaries pile up
Fox News
House lawmakers are pushing the Defense Department for detailed explanations of how artificial intelligence is being incorporated into its national security plans.
One of these demands relates directly to China, which the committee said has an increasing presence in disputed waters around the world that threatens U.S. national security. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
"The committee is increasingly concerned about the ability of the United States to counter this threat due to the vastness of the maritime environment," the text said. "Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), driven by artificial intelligence (AI), would enhance the Navy’s ability to monitor the maritime environment, increase strategic planning activities, and expose emerging threats through lead generation."
