The post An interview with the CIA’s head of AI appeared first on FedScoop.

]]> As federal agencies move full-scale to adopt artificial intelligence technologies in coordination with the 2023 Biden administration AI executive order, it might seem that more secretive intelligence agencies like the CIA would be less forthcoming about their work in the space. Sure, there are some things the agency can’t share and certain requirements that must be met to work with commercial products due to classification restrictions. But the CIA is doing quite a lot in AI, and Lakshmi Raman, the director of AI for the agency, was willing to give a wide-ranging interview looking at the CIA’s journey to adopt AI — from the use cases the CIA is most excited about for AI to the workforce concerns and unique governance challenges the agency faces, and much more. Let’s shift now to that interview with Lakshmi Raman, CIA’s director of AI.

The post Palantir wins another major Army contract appeared first on FedScoop.

]]> The Army has awarded Palantir a $480 million deal to support its Maven Smart System prototype, the Pentagon announced Wednesday. The U.S. military has recently been using this type of artificial intelligence technology in the Central Command area of responsibility in the Middle East. The Maven Smart System uses AI generated algorithms and memory learning capabilities to scan and identify enemy systems in the Area of Responsibility, fusing data from various Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR) systems to identify areas of interest.

The Pentagon wants to use artificial intelligence tools like Maven to enable its Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control warfighting construct, which aims to better connect the platforms, sensors and data streams of the U.S. military and key international partners under a more unified network. Defense officials intend to leverage AI to help commanders and other personnel make faster and better decisions and improve operational effectiveness and efficiency.

The company was recently awarded another AI-related deal by the Army for the next phase of the service’s TITAN ground station program, which aims to provide soldiers with next-generation data fusion and deep-sensing capabilities via artificial intelligence and other tools. That other transaction agreement was worth $178 million.
