Key quotes

Our nation depends on our men and women who fight on the front lines. Nothing is more valuable to you than information and insight, and information and insight in a timely way.
Many of you will command in AI-enabled environments. Information will move at lightning speeds, compressing response times. Our advantage will come from leaders, like you, who can use the technology to see, understand, decide and act faster while exercising the judgment, experience and leadership that machines cannot provide.
The most important advice that I would give to someone is to engage the technology. It's not as hard as you think it is, and the reason for that is because, on first principles, technology is supposed to get smarter and smarter over time.
