Cyber Command turns to veteran of intelligence agencies for top AI role
US Cyber Command appoints Rear Adm. Ronzelle Green as chief AI officer as its AI budget grows from $5M to $138M.
US Cyber Command has named Ronzelle Green, previously head of research and development at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, as its new Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer, replacing Brig. Gen. Reid Novotny. The command's 'AI for Cyber Operations' budget request grew from $5 million in fiscal 2026 to $138 million in fiscal 2027, aiming to let cyber operators process data and respond to threats faster than humans alone. Sources say Green's priority will be consolidating fragmented AI pilot programs across the organization, in contrast to the NSA's more established Artificial Intelligence Security Center created in 2023.
