How the Pentagon Is Buying AI Models Like a SaaS Platform

The Pentagon is shifting from building custom AI models in-house to buying them as managed services — a move that mirrors how enterprises adopted cloud-based software. Lucas and Luna break down the new 'AI as a service' procurement model, using the recent JWCC contract expansions and the emergence of the Pentagon's Chief Digital and AI Office as anchor points. They discuss what this means for traditional defense contractors vs. Silicon Valley, and why AI model procurement is becoming more about data pipelines than algorithms. A focused look at how the Department of Defense is rewriting its AI acquisition playbook. #AIProcurement #Pentagon #MilitaryAI #SaaS #DefenseTech #CDAO #JWCC #ArtificialIntelligence #GovernmentContracting #MachineLearning #DataPipelines #Business #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DefenseInnovation #AIasAService Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
