Program

The Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer (CDAO) is the senior official responsible for the acceleration of DoD’s adoption of data, analytics, and AI to generate decision advantage, from the boardroom to the battlefield. The CDAO was first established in February 2022—bringing together the authorities and resources of previously separate organizations, including the DoD Chief Data Officer (CDO), the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC), Defense Digital Service (DDS), and the Advancing Analytics (ADVANA) Office—and it reached full operational capability in June 2022.

To mark the CDAO’s one-year anniversary, please join the RAND National Security Research Division for a fireside chat with Margie Palmieri, Deputy CDAO, and Jim Mitre, director of RAND’s International Security and Defense Policy Program, about the status of the CDAO and where DoD is on its journey to adopt data, analytics, and AI at scale.
