| Summary |
DOD has begun to pursue increasingly advanced AI capabilities. DOD has historically struggled to acquire weapon systems software, and AI acquisitions pose additional challenges. In February 2022, GAO described the status of DOD's efforts to develop and acquire AI for weapon systems. This is the second report in response to that provision. This report examines (1) key factors that selected private companies reported considering when acquiring AI capabilities, and (2) the extent to which DOD has department-wide AI acquisition guidance and how, if at all, this guidance reflects key factors identified by private sector companies. GAO is making four recommendations for DOD and the three military departments to develop guidance on acquiring AI capabilities, leveraging private company factors as appropriate. |
