'Whoever gets to AI first, I believe, will have dominance for many years afterward,' says U.S. Army Secretary Mark Esper.
The U.S. Army is looking to advance its technology and put its focus on future conflicts, as it presents its colossal budget request to Congress.
"At the same time it also underscores this renaissance that the Army is in with regard to how we man, organize, and train and equip the force," he added."It has much more semiautonomy and autonomy and full-autonomy built into the system. You'll see technology which allows soldiers much more survivability and lethality on the battlefield," he said.
Esper said the Army itself has a request of $182 billion to grow the force and allow for advancements in technologies. Autonomous and semiautonomous vehicles, robotics, and using artificial intelligence are in the Army's future, he said.
