Pentagon AI oversight office significantly understaffed, GAO finds

A GAO report dated Oct. 14 says the Pentagon's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office has not fully implemented the Defense Department's Responsible AI framework, partly due to staffing shortfalls: only three of its 10 authorized positions were filled as of February, and defense officials said they are unlikely to be filled. The office leads DoD AI adoption and integration, so the gaps weaken oversight.
