Genius Machines Cross Country: Tampa

In the last five years, the tools used in defense have evolved from a staple of science fiction to a real-world magnet for large-scale investment. In Tampa, that means channeling artificial intelligence, machine learning and other emerging technologies to aid the special operations community when it comes to gathering and analyzing intelligence, enhancing cyber operations and transforming tools for soldiers.

Defense One and Nextgov hosted the last installment in the Genius Machines event series, where our editors sat down with leading experts who are shaping defense technology from Tampa to across the globe.
