The US wants to use AI to accelerate military operations and outpace China. To do that the US needs access to more enterprise cloud resources, faster and structured streaming data and next-generation algorithms and models. Problems: many of those commercially-available enterprise cloud capabilities run on chips made in Taiwan; the Defense Department is only beginning to structure the data it has so its useable across the entire military and still doesn’t know what data it still needs; and many AI academics and startups are reluctant to work with the Defense Department. China faces none of those obstacles to employing AI in war but it does have their own. This session offers a comprehensive reveal of tech competition at the heart of the National Defense Strategy and looks at the key role AI plays in that strategy.

In today’s high-stakes defense landscape, harnessing AI and machine learning at the edge is critical to delivering real-time intelligence and enhancing operational agility. This segment explores how working with different hardware form factors and deploying advanced optimization techniques can help meet the unique demands of edge environments, ensuring high-performance computing at the tactical edge. Discover how integrating tools like the Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) can empower warfighters with powerful situational awareness, providing an unparalleled tactical advantage in the field.
