WEBVTT 00:02.640 --> 00:05.599 Education has always been a part of the 00:05.599 --> 00:09.100 Air Force's DNA . What our warfighters 00:09.100 --> 00:11.970 are gaining on a day to day basis in 00:11.970 --> 00:13.859 operational units as far as their 00:13.859 --> 00:16.260 experiences , we are building on those 00:16.260 --> 00:19.319 experiences to better professionalize 00:19.620 --> 00:22.469 our airmen . So we've got 7 PME 00:22.469 --> 00:24.809 programs and 1 master's degree program , 00:24.829 --> 00:26.950 and all of it is geared towards 00:26.950 --> 00:29.909 ensuring that the warfighter has what 00:29.909 --> 00:32.209 they need to succeed where they're at . 00:32.349 --> 00:34.950 What we actually strive to do is reach 00:34.950 --> 00:36.839 out to the operational commands , 00:36.839 --> 00:39.061 actually speak with . The officers that 00:39.061 --> 00:41.595 are or will be our students , what are 00:41.595 --> 00:43.817 the things you're grappling with ? What 00:43.817 --> 00:46.685 is relevant to what you are doing so 00:46.685 --> 00:48.796 we're really leveraging technology as 00:48.796 --> 00:50.907 much as we can to make this education 00:50.907 --> 00:53.365 as interesting as interactive and as 00:53.365 --> 00:55.532 effective as we can for our students . 00:55.825 --> 00:59.125 Quantity and speed has a quality of its 00:59.125 --> 01:00.958 own right now in the operational 01:00.958 --> 01:03.639 environment . is changing dynamically 01:03.639 --> 01:06.290 by the minute with drones and how the 01:06.519 --> 01:09.819 intersection of uh targeting now by 01:09.819 --> 01:13.279 with AI has made the human machine even 01:13.279 --> 01:15.760 seem obsolete when it's not . It's just 01:15.760 --> 01:17.900 making us a little bit smarter on how 01:17.900 --> 01:20.080 we develop our targets . Same thing in 01:20.080 --> 01:22.440 a PME environment . So we want our 01:22.440 --> 01:24.900 students to be able to think faster . 01:25.709 --> 01:29.599 Utilizing AI but also still keep that 01:29.599 --> 01:31.599 critical analysis , still keep that 01:31.599 --> 01:34.199 critical thinking behind why we need to 01:34.199 --> 01:36.255 make the certain decisions . So it's 01:36.255 --> 01:38.421 the same thing that the parallel is so 01:38.421 --> 01:39.120 similar on the battlefield .
