The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, in its final report to Congress and the Biden administration last year, warned artificial intelligence will soon become "weapons of first resort in future conflicts." That warning, as well as the commission's recommendation for the federal government to increase spending on basic research and development, remains urgent for the U.S. to remain AI-ready in the coming years, even though the commission no longer remains. The commission disbanded in October 2021, but many of its leading experts have shifted to a private-sector entity, the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP). The name stems from the Rockefeller Special Studies Project, launched in 1956 by Nelson Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger following the Soviet Union's launch of the satellite Sputnik. SCSP chief executive officer Ylli Bajraktari, NSCAI's former executive director, said Rockefeller and Kissinger saw their project as a way for the U.S. to further define its national objectives when it came to defense, security and foreign policy. "This is not the first time that we're seeing technology playing a critical role in great power competition," Bajraktari said.

Before learning C programming, we should understand its terminologies, such as argument, function, variables, class, built-in types, loops, array, and more. It helps to write a few lines of code as an exercise. Programmers write codes in a text file with an extension of ".c". C is an enhanced version of the C programming developed by Bjarne Stroustrup back in 1986. It adds up every part of C, including object-oriented programming. Likewise, C is used in game development, software infrastructure, and application. It can significantly handle hardware and run code in any environment. As a result, C is one of the leading choices to create dynamic and agile software that operates system resources and critical tasking.

Over the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been delivering competitive advantage to businesses across a wide spectrum of industries. By Deloitte's most recent count, 37 percent of organizations have deployed AI solutions (up 270 percent from 2016) and a majority predict it will "substantially transform" their companies by 2023. The shift may also mean transforming their workforce. "As AI drives these transformations, it is changing how work gets done in organizations by making operations more efficient, supporting better decision-making, and freeing up workers from certain tasks," Deloitte reports. "The nature of job roles and the skills that are most needed are evolving."

No need to be too shocked though, because I'm pretty sure I can package it as so-called ethical polygamy.

The project named'Enhancing the Region through New Technology for Unmanned Systems,' will implement a new drone technology training program at Dabney S. Lancaster Community College. This program will open up a career pathway, by enhancing the learning opportunities for high school students and extending to four-year degree attainment through partnerships with other higher-education institutions. This project aims to capitalize on the "Alleghany Highlands Drone Zone Initiative," a business accelerator program to support enterprises in the UAS industry in Alleghany County. "Growth and Opportunity for Virginia (GO Virginia) is inspiring the innovative thinking that will help to push Virginia's economy forward," says Governor, Ralph Northam.
