🤖 AI is moving deeper into military and intelligence operations.

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is looking toward a future where AI agents don’t just assist people — they communicate and collaborate with other AI agents across military operations.
DIA Chief AI Officer Maj. Gen. Robert Kinney described a vision where specialized agents could support intelligence collection, operations, logistics, communications, cyber and planning. DIA is already working on the foundation, including a 90-day sprint to develop an enterprise AI platform and work around Model Context Protocol (MCP).

But increased autonomy also brings increased responsibility. DIA officials are emphasizing security, zero-trust principles, responsible AI and human oversight, particularly when AI could influence decisions with irreversible consequences.
The future of defense AI may not be human-to-AI — it could increasingly become agent-to-agent.
