The Pentagon admitted Friday that it faces certain disadvantages in the strategic competition with China to develop AI-enabled technologies and capabilities.
China's AI programs benefit greatly from its militaries integration with the private sector, something the US military has been struggling to cultivate.

Gen. Jack Shanahan, director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, explained to reporters Friday.
