It has been one year since the issuance of the Executive Order on AI, and the landscape continues to evolve rapidly. Federal agencies have been hard at work gaining mission-oriented outcomes from pilots, while trying to identify and navigate through the challenges of operationalizing AI at scale. For many departments, the leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) may seem like a bridge too far. Even those with well-resourced data sys...

The rise of artificial intelligence has led agencies to seek out hybrid cloud infrastructure that accelerates AI application development and delivers faster time to value. AI solutions also have varying storage requirements based on their design – another reason that hybrid cloud solutions can optimize AI applications. At the same time, hybrid cloud environments create complexities that must be managed, ranging from ensuring that hybrid...

Government agencies at all levels are under pressure to modernize their IT infrastructure to meet the evolving needs and expectations of their customers, stakeholders, and employees. The ubiquity of smart phones and tailored apps in the broader world have raised user expectations for government systems to work the same way.

The United States leads the world in adopting 5G technology for communications and wireless internet access, thanks to its high speed, low latency, and increased bandwidth access. This has provided a huge boost to digital transformation in both the public and private sectors. For instance, the rapid adoption of edge computing can be attributed to 5G’s superior qualities. The spread of 5G was accelerated by the pandemic, as agencies and b...

The premise of Moore’s law is that the speed and capability of computers can be expected to double every two years. Unspoken but implied is that new technologies will be introduced at a similar clip – along with new, sometimes unforeseen, challenges. Cybersecurity professionals know all about Moore’s law. For instance, the past 18 months has brought artificial intelligence (AI) into the mainstream, introducing plenty of both...

The federal government is doing everything it can to encourage agencies to adopt artificial intelligence tools to improve all aspects of their performance, while simultaneously paying close attention to potential risks of this exciting new technology. Currently, few agencies have adequate access to supercomputers and the deep expertise needed to operate the technology and test potential applications on secure infrastructure. This is beginning...
