Pentagon official resigns, sounds alarm about US losing technological edge

Outgoing Pentagon senior official Preston Dunlap warned the US might be losing its technological edge on the world stage on 'Fox & Friends First'

Preston Dunlap, the chief architect for the Space Force, argued the military used to excel in areas like artificial intelligence on "Fox & Friends First," but the commercial sector is now surpassing the defense community. He said this is ultimately providing an opportunity to U.S. adversaries.

"These are accessible to anyone with resources and academics and capabilities, and so our adversaries or potential adversaries are able to have access to that technology, not only inside their own economies, but because of the benefit of our free and open society, which is a great thing," Dunlap told co-host Todd Piro.
