@SecDef provides an update on efforts to eliminate Chinese involvement in DoD networks. #DoDCIO is implementing these actions & broader programs like #SWFT, #RMF reform, and CMMC to improve the #cybersecurity of our networks & software as well as the security of our DIB partners.

PTDO CIO Katie Arrington directed the #DoDCIO to update the "Requirements for the Acquisition of Digital Capabilities Guidebook." This update will build on the 12 risk categories developed by the OASD(S). For more information check out the memo at dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0…

The WID is empowering the DoD CIO to make data-driven decisions that directly enhance readiness, target training, and address skills gaps. Read more about the WIDs approach via: afcea.org/signal-media/cyber… #DoDCIO #DoDCyberWorkforce #DataAnalytics #DoD8140

On 18 July @SecDef signed “Enhancing Security Protocols for the Department of Defense.” The #DoDCIO is moving out, in coordination with stakeholders, to ensure IT capabilities are secure against supply chain attacks. #DoDCIO #Cyber #ZeroTrust #Cloud #MNaaS #CMMC #SWFT

24JUN25: Mr. Patrick Johnson, Dir. of Workforce Dev, WID, spoke at the ISC2 Conference in D.C. over the DoD's next steps to adopt DCWF 8140 policy changes, how this will affect the workforce, & the importance of accurately tracking manpower data throughout the process. #DoDCIO

#SWFT will accelerate & elevate software supply chain security. It's imperative DoD & suppliers have a systematic & scalable approach to incorporate & deliver software. Understanding, verifying, & efficiently sharing information increases warfighter readiness & lethality. #DoDCIO

*NEW LINK* The #DoDCIO is seeking innovative ideas to modernize the Risk Management Framework (#RMF). From AI-powered tools to automation and proactive cyber defense—we want your input. Help shape a faster, smarter, & more resilient #cybersecurity future. sam.gov/opp/22284306df014352…

We're blowing up the #RMF! We've heard DoD CIOs, CISOs, Service 6s & J6s, next is industry. Watch for an RFI in the near future. Five tenets serve as the foundation: Automation, Continuous Monitoring, Inheritance, CS & Resiliency, & Operationalizing RM. #Cyber #Software #DoDCIO

At @NATO's Digital Policy Committee, PTDO CIO Katie Arrington emphasized Alliance data-centric security, #ZeroTrust, & #cloud security. She also advocated for a fast-track, agile acquisition process for critical communications & IS capabilities. #DoDCIO

$PLTR CDAO Releases Responsible AI (RAI) Toolkit for Ensuring Alignment With RAI Best Practices "More Regulation is better for my company" Dr. Karp @PalantirTech Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) publicly released the Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) Toolkit, a key deliverable of the DoD RAI Strategy & Implementation Pathway (RAI S&I Pathway), signed June 2022, by Deputy Secretary of Defense (DSD) Kathleen Hicks. The RAI S&I Pathway spells out 64 lines of effort for operationalizing the Department of Defense's AI Ethical Principles, including developing technical tools and guidance to help DoD personnel design, develop, deploy, and use AI systems responsibly. The RAI Toolkit is built upon the earlier Responsible AI (RAI) Guidelines and Worksheets developed by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and Toolkit, and the IEEE 7000 Standard Model Process for Addressing Ethical Concerns during System Design, among other sources. The RAI Toolkit provides users a voluntary process that identifies, tracks, and improves alignment of AI projects to RAI best practices and the Department's AI Ethical Principles, while capitalizing on opportunities for innovation. Additionally, the Toolkit's intuitive flow guides users through tailorable and modular assessments, tools, and artifacts throughout the AI product lifecycle.  Finally, the RAI Toolkit offers guidance and an RAI standard to current and future DoD industry partners related to the RAI-focused products and other capabilities they seek to develop. The Toolkit is a living document that will be continuously enhanced. The RAI Toolkit development effort was led by the RAI Division, with support, insight, and feedback from the DoD Responsible AI Working Council, subject matter experts from across the Department, federal funded research and development centers, university-affiliated research center laboratories, and industry partners. "The Toolkit is a core pillar of the Department's Responsible AI work, and we are honored to contribute to the Department's overall journey toward justified confidence in AI-enabled systems," remarked Chief of RAI Division Diane Staheli. RAI Toolkit info sessions and feedback opportunities will be made available. To register interest, please email the RAI Division at DODCIO-CDAORAI@groups.mail.mil. The RAI Toolkit reinforces the Department's commitment to becoming a responsible AI-enabled organization. CDAO Craig Martell proclaimed, "Responsible AI is foundational for anything that the DoD builds and ships. So, I am thrilled about the release of the RAI Toolkit. This release demonstrates our commitment to ethics, risk assessment, internal governance, and external collaboration. We promised to establish processes to design and employ human fail-safes in AI development and deployment, and we're excited to provide this applied Toolkit for our end users." Interested users may access the online RAI Toolkit here: rai.tradewindai.com/ About the CDAO The CDAO became operational in June 2022 and is dedicated to integrating and optimizing artificial intelligence capabilities across the DoD. The office is responsible for accelerating the DoD's adoption of data, analytics, and AI, enabling the Department's digital infrastructure and policy adoption to deliver scalable AI-driven solutions for enterprise and joint use cases, safeguarding the nation against current and emerging threats Long & Strong.
