To Succeed With AI/ML, Start With the End in Mind
To Succeed With AI/ML, Start With the End in Mind
For AI/ML success, it’s critical to start with the end in mind: mission leaders in the right place, at the right time, with the right information. All enterprises working toward this end goal face numerous challenges: siloed data science and DevOps environments, fragmented workflows, and immature data management practices among them. Join us to hear practical solutions to these common challenges and offer actionable advice that agencies can use today, whether they’re experienced AI implementers or just getting started.

Mission Edge Panel: AI and Edge Combine for Faster Decision-Making in the Field
Mission success is all about data – the right data, at the right time, with the right people – and the capability to operationalize that data for faster decision making in the field. Edge computing has rapidly advanced to make this possible, and now, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are accelerating decision making and data analysis at the mission edge even more. From processing images collected by drones at blinding speed to utilizing advanced flyaway kits to support law enforcement, Federal agencies are developing AI/ML use cases far from the traditional data center. Join us to learn how AI and ML are helping military and civilian organizations make better and more timely decisions in the field.

Panel: Planning for Security in a Post-Quantum World
Panel: Planning for Security in a Post-Quantum World
The United States has recently been hit with a large number of cybersecurity attacks. Government leaders have taken action to secure agencies through the form of mandates and directives such as the M-22-09 Zero Trust Strategy, Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Law, and Executive Order 14028: Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. Some of our brightest minds are working to envision the quantum computing future and how we can realize its enormous potential for progress – and short-circuit its immense potential for peril. This panel will discuss current guidance on moving to quantum-resistant encryption and how researchers are combining AI and commercially-viable quantum technologies today to enable post-quantum cryptography.
