1 00:00:00,850 --> 00:00:03,420 Air University can't be disconnected . 2 00:00:03,730 --> 00:00:06,063 We don't fight wars in a vacuum anymore . 3 00:00:06,130 --> 00:00:08,352 We aren't doing anything by ourselves . 4 00:00:08,352 --> 00:00:10,574 We need experts in air power , but they 5 00:00:10,574 --> 00:00:12,408 need to see how it fits into the 6 00:00:12,408 --> 00:00:14,463 broader picture . So whenever we are 7 00:00:14,463 --> 00:00:16,408 talking land , air , sea , space , 8 00:00:16,408 --> 00:00:18,930 cyber , they understand our mission and 9 00:00:18,930 --> 00:00:21,041 what we bring , but understand how it 10 00:00:21,041 --> 00:00:23,208 fits into the overall bigger picture , 11 00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:25,097 and we need that expertise at all 12 00:00:25,097 --> 00:00:27,840 levels of the enterprise . We are a 13 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,007 military organization with an academic 14 00:00:30,007 --> 00:00:32,159 mission . We have a long history of 15 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,560 creating and building and growing joint 16 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,889 strategic air-minded warriors . However , 17 00:00:39,069 --> 00:00:40,958 we can't be stale , you know , as 18 00:00:40,958 --> 00:00:43,125 things continue to evolve , we need to 19 00:00:43,125 --> 00:00:45,180 build on our curriculum and never be 20 00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:47,013 satisfied where it's at . And so 21 00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:49,549 whether that is an enlisted PME or our 22 00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:51,438 captain's course over in squadron 23 00:00:51,438 --> 00:00:53,549 officer school all the way up through 24 00:00:53,549 --> 00:00:55,660 Air War College , we need to continue 25 00:00:55,660 --> 00:00:57,882 to be able to adapt so that way they're 26 00:00:57,882 --> 00:01:00,105 ready from day one . They didn't take a 27 00:01:00,105 --> 00:01:02,105 break and go into a whole different 28 00:01:02,105 --> 00:01:04,327 world . We spent a year developing them 29 00:01:04,327 --> 00:01:07,279 for that next job . And we can't be 30 00:01:07,279 --> 00:01:10,110 prehistoric . We can't operate out of a 31 00:01:10,110 --> 00:01:12,480 hard copy textbook anymore when our 32 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,879 adversaries are implementing AI at all 33 00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:18,139 levels . So we must find a way to add 34 00:01:18,279 --> 00:01:20,720 AI into all of our courses , whether it 35 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,279 is just AI foundationally and teaching 36 00:01:23,279 --> 00:01:25,501 folks how to use prompts all the way to 37 00:01:25,501 --> 00:01:27,501 really being incredibly literate in 38 00:01:27,501 --> 00:01:29,446 different versions of the AI where 39 00:01:29,446 --> 00:01:31,779 they're writing codes and building bots , 40 00:01:31,779 --> 00:01:33,668 that's where we need to be in the 41 00:01:33,668 --> 00:01:35,501 future . We owe that to the next 42 00:01:35,501 --> 00:01:37,501 generation . We need to continue to 43 00:01:37,501 --> 00:01:39,668 push just as those that came before us 44 00:01:39,668 --> 00:01:41,890 1020 , 50 , 100 years ago did the exact 45 00:01:41,890 --> 00:01:44,057 same things , and they had to make the 46 00:01:44,057 --> 00:01:46,057 hard decisions to push forward , to 47 00:01:46,057 --> 00:01:47,890 evolve everything including this 48 00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:49,668 university . We owe that to the 49 00:01:49,668 --> 00:01:51,779 enterprise because we owe that to the 50 00:01:51,779 --> 00:01:51,709 nation .
