Far too often, agencies, organizations, and consulting firms are running data and AI projects without taking the right steps to ensure their success. Agile and iterative approaches have become adopted best practices for application development projects, but why don’t we have something similar when it comes to advanced analytics, big data, and AI projects? Without using best-practices approaches that standardize steps for data preparation...

Growing IT complexity means performing even routine operations can unduly tax agency IT resources – in fact, managing the potential billions of dependencies exceeds human capacity. Using artificial intelligence to automate IT operations (AIOps) makes the impossible possible, enabling IT teams to effectively manage complex environments without piling on new tasks or yet more training – and allowing them to focus on higher value work...

In response to the growing threat of wildfires, on June 30th, 2021 the current administration assembled Governors from Western states, Cabinet officials, and various partners to discuss ways to protect communities across the country from wildfires and their devastating impacts strengthening fire prevention, preparedness, mitigation, and response efforts, including a need to enhance the utilization of data and technology to protect communities...

In the iconic “Star Trek” – whether the TV series of the 1960s or the two-movie adaptations over the past 40 (!) years – Dr. McCoy uses a handheld scanner to examine, diagnose, and treat his patients. What “Star Trek” doesn’t show is the vast amount of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) that culminated in the creation of the scanner’s capabilities. Though this level of compute...

The pandemic and great resignation have put talent acquisition and employee retainment front and center for companies and federal agencies alike. Today, there are several emerging technologies that can make a substantial impact on improving recruitment, reducing regrettable attrition, and promoting diversity and inclusion. At the forefront of this innovation is Artificial Intelligence (AI). Yet misconceptions, misunderstandings, and a lack of...

George Bernard Shaw famously once said that England and America are two countries separated by a common language. In the digital domain, however, zeros and ones transcend that difference. In diplomatic circles, the U.S. and the U.K. are known to have a closely aligned relationship. That extends to the military, as well - both are pursuing digital transformation strategies to facilitate adoption of emerging, innovative technologies, such as art...

Far too often, organizations are running data and AI projects without following established best practices and taking the right steps to ensure their success. Decades ago, we learned how to run application development projects using best-practice agile and iterative approaches. However, many organizations are failing to apply similar best practices to their data-centric projects. Without a proper approach that standardizes steps for data prep...

This event will explore the current state of technology, use cases, and limitations of Federal Data, in the Federal Government space. Listen in as topic experts explore the importance of Federal Data Strategy. What does implementing a Federal Data Strategy mean for a Federal Agency? What are the best strategies to implement Federal Data Strategy within the federal Government? What are the benefits? Tune in to hear from these panelists on the c...

Cyberattacks and threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and dangerous. To keep up with the speed of cybersecurity threats, agencies must implement security operations that include Artificial Intelligence (AI), integration and automation. Artificial Intelligence can help cybersecurity professionals maintain situational awareness of their operating environments. Yet, understanding the available options and practical considerations to im...
