1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,599
Education has always been a part of the 

2
00:00:05,599 --> 00:00:09,100
Air Force's DNA . What our warfighters 

3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:11,970
are gaining on a day to day basis in 

4
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:13,859
operational units as far as their 

5
00:00:13,859 --> 00:00:16,260
experiences , we are building on those 

6
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:19,319
experiences to better professionalize 

7
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:22,469
our airmen . So we've got 7 PME 

8
00:00:22,469 --> 00:00:24,809
programs and 1 master's degree program , 

9
00:00:24,829 --> 00:00:26,950
and all of it is geared towards 

10
00:00:26,950 --> 00:00:29,909
ensuring that the warfighter has what 

11
00:00:29,909 --> 00:00:32,209
they need to succeed where they're at . 

12
00:00:32,349 --> 00:00:34,950
What we actually strive to do is reach 

13
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:36,839
out to the operational commands , 

14
00:00:36,839 --> 00:00:39,061
actually speak with . The officers that 

15
00:00:39,061 --> 00:00:41,595
are or will be our students , what are 

16
00:00:41,595 --> 00:00:43,817
the things you're grappling with ? What 

17
00:00:43,817 --> 00:00:46,685
is relevant to what you are doing so 

18
00:00:46,685 --> 00:00:48,796
we're really leveraging technology as 

19
00:00:48,796 --> 00:00:50,907
much as we can to make this education 

20
00:00:50,907 --> 00:00:53,365
as interesting as interactive and as 

21
00:00:53,365 --> 00:00:55,532
effective as we can for our students . 

22
00:00:55,825 --> 00:00:59,125
Quantity and speed has a quality of its 

23
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:00,958
own right now in the operational 

24
00:01:00,958 --> 00:01:03,639
environment . is changing dynamically 

25
00:01:03,639 --> 00:01:06,290
by the minute with drones and how the 

26
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,819
intersection of uh targeting now by 

27
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:13,279
with AI has made the human machine even 

28
00:01:13,279 --> 00:01:15,760
seem obsolete when it's not . It's just 

29
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,900
making us a little bit smarter on how 

30
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,080
we develop our targets . Same thing in 

31
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,440
a PME environment . So we want our 

32
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,900
students to be able to think faster . 

33
00:01:25,709 --> 00:01:29,599
Utilizing AI but also still keep that 

34
00:01:29,599 --> 00:01:31,599
critical analysis , still keep that 

35
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,199
critical thinking behind why we need to 

36
00:01:34,199 --> 00:01:36,255
make the certain decisions . So it's 

37
00:01:36,255 --> 00:01:38,421
the same thing that the parallel is so 

38
00:01:38,421 --> 00:01:39,120
similar on the battlefield .
