Genius Machines: AI for Situational Intelligence

Ask a passerby on the street how federal agencies use AI for intelligence; answers might resemble the stuff of spy movies: drones for espionage, robots that scan faces. But Hollywood may not highlight the myriad applications for AI in federal agencies: AI processes satellite imagery to report and predict severe weather, natural disasters and climate changes more efficiently. It detects infections in patients who aren’t displaying symptoms. The list goes on. In this digital event, Nextgov and Defense One editors sat down with federal leaders who are spearheading game-changing AI and machine learning applications to enhance situational intelligence.
