Exploring Views about the Use of Artificial Intelligence

DoD recognizes that in an information-centric age, information systems and capabilities will be critical to securing the United States and its interests. In order for the DoD to have access to the most advanced technologists in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), it will need to engage with private sector corporations that derive only a small portion of their revenue from contracts with the DoD and do not see themselves as primarily defense contractors. However, recent events have raised concerns about a divide between the views, goals, and motivations from employees at these corporations compared to people employed by or associated with the national security community.The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to conduct a survey with members of the software engineering community, employees of defense and aerospace companies, and the general public. The study will also conduct focus groups with members of the software engineering community and students from computer science programs.
