Warfighters continue to require the ability to maintain and improve the decision advantage through using a data centric approach for successful battlefield outcomes. DoD warfighters must be able to dynamically integrate and operate as one truly joint force. To inform possible future acquisitions and improve our operational advantage, the Department seeks information related to technologies designed to improve data visibility, simplify data connections, and automate data access for legacy and new globally distributed warfighting systems supported by the DIL.

The Information Innovation Office (I2O) creates groundbreaking science and develops transformational capabilities in the informational and computational spheres to surprise adversaries and maintain enduring advantage for national security. I2O programs address elements of four key thrust areas: Proficient artificial intelligence (AI) ... Resilient, adaptable, and secure systems ... Advantage in cyber operations ... (and) Confidence in the information domain.

The purpose of this contract is to acquire earth observation data and related services from commercial sources to support NASA’s Earth science research and application activities. Emphasis will be placed on data acquired by commercial constellations, affording the means of complementing NASA's Earth observations data with higher resolutions, increased temporal frequency or other novel capabilities.

The purpose of this requirement is to acquire a data subscription service, for Commercial and Residential properties in the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA’s) portfolio, that provides housing market analysis, sales transactions, single property valuation and analysis, comparable real estate sales, commercial property data, 25-year house price index forecast by Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), and climate data risk scenarios.

“This suite of IDIQ contracts provide NGA’s core contracted intelligence and foundational analysis encompassing the tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination (TCPED) functions that underpin GEOINT work,” a spokesperson from the agency told DefenseScoop in an email on Monday. 

The DEEP-SDA project aims to address the critical issue of space domain awareness by harnessing the power of existing star trackers and data to develop a software tool to enable the USSF to characterize and detect objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Spire will be the leading provider of star tracker imagery, and all data will be used in direct support of the Joint Task Force-Space Defense Commercial Operations Cell (JCO), a specialized Space Force unit that works with commercial space data.

NASA Prepares Deep Space Mission—Why AI Will Play Important Role

To prepare for the incredible amount of data that NASA hopes to obtain, Benford said the space agency turned to artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. “There's all this interesting technology development that has to be done on the back end by people to figure out what you do when you collect data this quickly, Benford said. “It's a ‘big data’ kind of problem.”

IRS plans to test modernized taxpayer data system after 2024 filing season

The Internal Revenue Service plans to begin running a modernized system for taxpayer data after the current filing season in April, with a goal of having it up and running by the next tax season, IRS’s top official told lawmakers.

Navy putting AI into practice through low-risk, high-reward uses

“That legacy data is really, really, really important. And if we don’t think that all of our adversaries are going back and looking through everything that they have over decades, all the things that they have on us, we should be doing those types of things for ourselves –looking back at all the data that we have, being able to go back and mark it at speed and at scale, understand what those data objects are, is critically important,” McCaskill said.

SEC Proposals on Predictive Data Analytics are Flawed

Among its many uses in the financial world, technology can improve operational efficiencies, reduce risk and provide valuable information and services to clients. In this joint post with Debevoise, we explore how new rules proposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, purportedly focused on predictive data analytics, are fundamentally flawed, would inhibit the use and adoption of technology, and should not be adopted as proposed.

How cross-sector collaboration can optimize healthcare data and advance equity

As noted by CMS and HHS alike, with thorough communication, coordination and a shared agenda of advancing health equity the healthcare industry can capitalize on available health data for optimal health outcomes for all. Artificial intelligence and automation are prime examples of innovative data solutions. This technology can predict health trends, project the outcome of specific treatments, promote collaboration of a multidisciplinary team of health care providers and community health workers, and identify otherwise imperceptible healthcare gaps.  

A.I. Could Prove Disastrous for Democracy. How Can Philanthropy Prepare?

The widespread use of A.I. threatens to decrease trust and people’s sense of agency. In response, donors should fund face-to-face organizing and other programs that rely on human connection.

AI tools for city management launched at Bloomberg CityLab

Bloomberg has announced a new global learning community and digital platform, City AI Connect, for city leaders to test and develop AI tools with the goal of improving public services. Unveiled at the Mayors Innovation Studio at Bloomberg CityLab 2023, taking place in Washington DC this week, City AI Connect seeks to be a single destination for local government leaders to ideate, develop, and test new uses for generative AI with their peers across cities.

State leaders see generative AI's potential to bring positive impacts on the mission

“Security needs to be embedded into the fabric of every project that is taken on within the public sector and make sure there’s a plan to support cyber as an embedded component,” he explained. As long as states can plug generative AI into an ethical framework, Williams said they can have the opportunity to augment the security capabilities of their organization.

Veriff Launches RiskScore To Calculate Fraud Risk During IDV Sessions

They cannot afford to let their fraud prevention solutions grow stale, and must regularly assess and update them to stay a step ahead of the fraudsters,” said David Divitt Senior Director, Fraud Prevention & Experience at Veriff.

The Fraud Next Door: First-Party Fraud Runs Rampant in America

"While many may feel that first-party fraud is a victimless crime, this blossoming culture of unalloyed theft is driving higher costs for every single consumer. To combat this, it's time for our industry to share intelligence, create a widely-accepted definition that focuses on these fraudulent behaviors, and push for regulatory changes that will close loopholes for those carrying out these all-too-common acts."
