Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael has emphasized that the Department of War (DoW) has historically under-deployed artificial intelligence (AI) and that the current moment demands rapid, enterprise-wide integration of AI capabilities across the DoW workforce to better support both efficiency and warfighting functions. Recent developments such as the Department of War’s 2026 Artificial Intelligence Strategy and the planned integration of commercial large-language models like Grok across classified and unclassified DoW networks, reflect Under Secretary Michael’s incentivization, and illustrate ongoing commitments to rapid AI adoption and technological primacy.
We believe that this initiative, announced by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at SpaceX, signifies a reconfiguration of decision-making authority, informational control, and strategic agency within the conduct of war. AI is becoming a constitutive element through which operational knowledge is acquired, filtered, and acted upon. As such, AI reshapes both how force is applied and how tactical engagement and strategic judgment are structured and enacted.
