The United States Pentagon has launched a new task force to look into how generative artificial intelligence can be used for the nation’s defense.
On Aug. 10, the Pentagon announced the formation of “Task Force Lima” which would look into integrating AI across the U.S. defense apparatus so it can “design, deploy, and use generative AI technologies.”
In a statement, the Department of Defense said the aim is to use AI to enhance its business affairs, health, readiness, policy and warfighting capabilities.
Today, @DepSecDef signed Task Force Lima into effect. This @DeptofDefense-wide generative AI task force will examine generative AI use cases from across the federal government & develop recommendations on responsibly using these powerful tools. Learn more: https://t.co/GELM3aJqRf

Deputy Secretary of Defense Dr. Kathleen Hicks said part of Lima’s mission would also study how the department can defend against and respond to malicious or adversarial uses of AI.
The newly formed Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) — which launched in June 2022 — will lead the new task force, with U.S. Navy Captain Manuel Xavier Lugo named Lima’s mission commander.
Lima’s creation comes as tensions between the U.S. and China over AI technology continue to heighten.
