GENTEXT/REMARKS /1. The Service Data Office, the lead for
Artificial Intelligence, is communicating the release of REF A to
issue guidance on the development, deployment, and use of Generative
Artificial Intelligence within the Marine Corps.
2. Background. Generative AI capabilities present unique and
exciting opportunities for the Marine Corps, with the potential to
improve mission processes by enhancing operational speed and
efficiency, improving decision-making accuracy, reducing human
involvement in redundant, tedious, and dangerous tasks, and enabling
real-time adaptability to dynamic operational environments. This
advancement can boost mission effectiveness and operational
readiness, providing a strategic edge in modern warfare. Commanders
and senior leaders should advocate for the use of generative AI
tools for their appropriate use cases.
2.a. Generative AI tools present unique challenges in terms of data
privacy, security, and control over the generated content. The use
of such tools will be evaluated and monitored in accordance with the
policies that govern the use of government information systems.
2.b. Generative AI systems can produce misleading, inaccurate, and
ungrounded information. The guidance in REF A outlines the
expectations for generative AI system developers, system owners,
and users to ensure the responsible and ethical application of
generative AI tools.
3. Execution. The Guidance on Generative Artificial Intelligence is
available in the MCPEL at https://www.marines.mil/News/Publications/
MCPEL/Electronic-Library-Display/Article/4013464/navmc-52391/
4. Direct all questions to MARADMIN POCs.
