# U.S. Army Adopts Super Intelligence

The U.S. Army is adopting “super intelligence” (SI) to describe human-machine teaming, with safeguards and human review. Army leaders also announced a planned cyber workforce incentive-pay pilot, but the announcement provides no funding amount, schedule, solicitation, or procurement contact. For contractors, this signals an Army focus on human-supervised AI and cyber workforce development, not a current, defined procurement opportunity.

- Companies offering secure AI-enabled workflows, governance, or workforce training can assess how their capabilities align with the Army’s stated emphasis on safeguards and human review.
- The incentive-pay pilot may inform future Army workforce initiatives, but the available details do not establish a contract requirement or a bid timeline.
- There is no solicitation or contact to act on now; contractors can follow Army announcements for concrete information about the pilot or related requirements.
