National Security Domain Innovative Ideas

 

 

 

Putting “analyst”, “warfighter” and “physician” in the same sentence might initially seem odd, yet all three are trying to assimilate a mountain of data into a prognosis about your health, the intent of a foreign nation, or whether a target is hostile or friendly.  The rate at which that decision is made can literally mean life and death to all three of these professionals.  It is therefore no mystery as to why each one is very suspicious of relinquishing control to a computer algorithm.  Even when there are clear advantages to using intelligent automation, and the end-user is fully on board with AI, there are regulating agencies and acquisition hurdles that make the acquiring of AI capabilities a challenge. 

 

• Technical challenges and innovative solutions from across government and industry.
• Regulatory challenges and what has worked in the past to get capabilities in the hands of the end users.
• How to prepare for roadblocks thrown up in front of your product as early on in the development cycle as possible.
• How early planning can mitigate investment risk.
