More signs pointing to AI's growth in the federal market -- Washington Technology

Last week's White House summit on artificial intelligence (AI) is an encouraging sign of American government and industry working collaboratively to advance this transformative technology. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis recently told a congressional committee that the Department of Defense (DoD) is "not going to have more papers, we're going to move on [AI]." DoD is broadly pursuing AI, not just as another set of programs, but also as a powerful enabler for nearly every defense mission and function. Strategic competitors are not standing idly by, either, as they reshape their economies to more service-based industries bolstered by technology. The U.S. commercial sector has a sense of urgency in adopting AI in the face of increasing international competition.
