Chamath Palihapitiya’s Post

“That is why this digital transformation must be identified as a top national security priority, on par with other major challenges the Department has so effectively met. Such a designation, accompanied by sustained leadership and oversight at the highest levels of the Department, is necessary to ensure all Components of the Department are working at speed and in unison to the same common vision. It is also an essential element for ensuring all Components receive the appropriate and necessary resources to support efforts, as well as the kind of “risk absorption” leaders must provide in any innovative and forward-leaning organization. And, in the end, a well-executed digital transformation strategy will also catalyze a wide range of impacts and benefits to the Department, including but not limited to the kind of transformational culture change to stand the Department in good stead for the unknown challenges of the future. The landscape within the Department and outside of it is already rich with the learnings and lessons of an array of pilots and experimentation as well as real-world applications. The global realities dictate time is not on the United States’ side. Fortunately, utilizing the lessons learned, DoD is in a position to dramatically accelerate this foundational shift. There is no time to waste.” https://lnkd.in/ezfvAwUV

Senior defense officials are putting the final touches on the first official Security Classification Guidance to direct what can and cannot be disclosed publicly about the Pentagon’s high-stakes Replicator initiative, DefenseScoop has learned. Since Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks launched Replicator in August 2023 — as the U.S.’s broad plan to rapidly counter China’s intensifying military buildup by fielding thousands of autonomous systems across conflict domains in two years or less via a process that can be “replicated” — she and other Defense Department leadership have been unapologetically tight-lipped about the programs, capabilities, people and elements that are and will be involved, citing security sensitivities. https://hubs.li/Q02yqqNf0
