As shared before, I was in William & Mary's first graduating Computer Science (CS) class and I provide a research feed in support of the new school of Computing, Data Sciences, and Physics. This is an entry from the research feed: Below are two DoD AI related policy articles that also have NATO, DoD contractor, and commerical considerations/implications. Pentagon developing ‘Responsible AI’ guides for defense, intelligence, interagency — even allies https://lnkd.in/eRwVe2Bq Show me the data: DISA leaders outline do’s and don’ts on industry AI pitches https://lnkd.in/eysUY-fG

"Advocates for regulations said that fewer constraints on AI technology could also facilitate the development of applications used for surveillance, social scoring and military purposes." https://lnkd.in/d4k4d-gV

Pentagon, US Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy AI Office The Department of Defense's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO) is restructuring to expedite AI integration across the military. Under Dr. Plumb's leadership, the office is consolidating teams to enhance operational efficiency and better meet the demands of modern warfare. This reorganization aims to streamline the adoption of AI-enabled capabilities, ensuring the U.S. military remains at the forefront of technological advancement. At HIGHWAY Ventures, we recognize the significance of such developments. Our mission to transform federal research lab technology into impactful ventures aligns with the DoD's commitment to innovation. By bridging the gap between groundbreaking research and practical application, we contribute to national security and technological progress. As the CDAO evolves, opportunities for collaboration between venture studios and defense agencies will expand. We are poised to leverage our expertise in tech commercialization to support the DoD's AI initiatives, driving forward the next generation of defense capabilities. #AdvancedMobility #Innovation #AgenticAI #Venture

🚀 Industry Update: United States Department of the Air Force has launched NIPRGPT, the first IL4 GPT with an Authorization to Operate (ATO). This marks a significant development in the use of generative AI in the military, where GPT continues to spark debate. With this technology now accessible for free to all CAC card holders, how do you think this will influence the future landscape of military tech? 🤔 And what are your thoughts on the potential impacts of this new capability? https://ow.ly/B9ll50SmuLa #MilitaryAI #NatSec #DefenseTech #DefenseInnovation

🚨 Striking the Balance, Part Two: Leveraging Technology, Training, and Talent in #FOIA Management - A Conversation with Michael Sarich, Director of FOIA at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. ⚡ In Part One of this interview, we explored Michael Sarich's role as Director of the Freedom of Information Act at the Veterans Affairs, where he oversees a significant volume of requests, ensures transparency, and prioritizes urgent inquiries. ⚡ Now, in the continuation of our discussion, we delve into Sarich's advocacy for technological advancements within the VA, the integration of artificial intelligence in request processing, and his vision of the future of technology within the agency. 👉 Read more in this blog post by Gina Jurva > https://lnkd.in/d-S5T2bf #VeteransAffairs #VA

The movement to data-driven decision making using improved data products will continue to accelerate. This is a good thing. However, to what degree are we teaching our most senior decision makers how to best discern good data from suspect data? Reliance on AI tools is the right step, no doubt. We must be alert to those leaders who fail to keep up with this pace of change. With new technologies there are always early adopters; on the other extreme there are always those who wait too long to learn it. We will live in an era where juniors far-better understand the technology. It must be taught and learned at the executive levels as well. Article by Sandra Erwin. #DoD #Congress #Funding

Artificial Intelligence in War Decides Who Should Die and Who Should Not... IDF have widespread the existence of algorithms with Artificial intelligence, which constitute what some experts consider the initiative of artificial intelligence military most advanced ever implemented. The Washington Post investigation reveals a heated debate among the highest ranks of the military, which began years before October 7. On the quality of the data collected by AI, whether the support of technologies has actually given refined and precise results as hoped. Furthermore, there are also questions about whether the attention onartificial intelligence weakened the intelligence capabilities of the Israeli defense forces.

Data and software can transform Defense Acquisition. But, as CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty tells National Defense Magazine, “success ultimately hinges on DoD’s willingness to translate AI’s potential into real-world, operational value.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gNmnQNR8
