Federal agencies and their Federal Systems Integrator (FSI) partners are considering how to tap into artificial intelligence (AI) to advance their missions. The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence is calling on Federal leaders to double research and development spending on AI, to $32 billion by Fiscal Year 2026. As with any new technology, there is uncertainty on the best way to move from pilot projects in the lab to fully implemented production solutions. MeriTalk recently sat down with Bob Venero, CEO of Future Tech Enterprise, Inc., to talk about how agencies and FSI's can overcome barriers to get AI programs up and running quickly, and contribute to mission success. MeriTalk: We know Federal agencies are dipping their toes into using emerging technology including AI and machine learning (ML) to support a wide range of projects.
