JAIC piloting artificial intelligence education for DOD - FedScoop

The Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center recently launched new AI education pilots for thousands of DOD employees that range from executive education for general officers to in-depth coding bootcamps. The most recent cohort of participants started taking an "AI 101" course in early February through a partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while another recently entered an AI coding bootcamp. The range of educational offerings from the AI-accelerator is designed to eventually be transitioned to other DOD institutions for tens or even hundreds of thousands of people to learn about AI, Greg Allen, the JAIC's head of policy and strategy, told FedScoop. "We are running training pilots to really test," Allen said. "We partner with the broader department of defense … to help them deliver education materiel at scale."
