The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency plans to conduct two workshops in 2023, aiming to convene academic, commercial and government experts to foster discussions on developing trustworthy artificial intelligence for national security purposes. DARPA's Information Innovation Office will host a virtual workshop from June 13 to 16 and an in-person workshop in Boston, Massachusetts, from July 31 to Aug. 2 as part of its AI Forward initiative. Each event will be limited to 100 attendees. Interested individuals are tasked with submitting an executive summary by Mar. According to DARPA, research efforts need to be directed toward foundational theory, engineering and human-AI teaming to delimit the scope of AI systems, ensure their real-world functionality and make them trustworthy partners for people.

Future near-peer adversaries will attempt to contest all domains and utilize complex and congested terrain to mitigate current joint force capabilities and reduce effectiveness of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) tactical maneuver elements. During Potomac Officers Club's Artificial Intelligence for Maneuver Virtual Event, a panel of expert speakers across the public and private sectors will discuss how the federal government, and its industry partners, can deter or defeat peer threats in contested multi-domain environments.

Christian Dunbar of the Department of the Navy, the panelist will discuss how advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms can enable human-machine teams to bring greater precision, certainty, speed and mass to the battlefield. The panel will be moderated by Joel Dillon, vice president of Global Defense, Army Account, with Booz Allen Hamilton.
