Every industry around the world has been impacted by the growth of AI, and the defense space is no exception. In the US military, the DoD has established dozens of teams across its five branches intent on learning more about AI capabilities, developing and procuring solutions, and collaborating with the tech industry.

Mr. John Osborne serves on one of these units inside the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA).

As the Senior Science and Technology Advisor to the Army’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, G2, Osborne advises the Army’s Senior Intelligence Officer on Intelligence Science and Technology programs and funding across various research and development stages. These include applied research, advanced technology development, and advanced component development and prototyping.

Before Osborne speaks at AI for Defense Transformation this May, he sat down with IDGA to discuss the Army G-2’s role in shaping AI, the key pillars of AI implementation, and much more.
