IARPA Director Talks OSINT, Trust, AI for Coming Strategy Vision

“Traditionally, the intelligence community had a few sources of intelligence, and had a pretty good idea how well they can trust those sources of intelligence,” he said. “Now we’re entering an era with all different kinds of open source intelligence, where we’ve got an almost endless collection of sources and we have no idea of how much we can trust any of these things.”

FTC targets deceptive AI claims in new crackdown

The crackdown by the FTC is part of a new law enforcement sweep called Operation AI Comply, according to the agency. In this instance, the five companies “relied” on AI to “supercharge deceptive or unfair conduct,” the FTC said. “Using AI tools to trick, mislead, or defraud people is illegal,” FTC Chair Lina Khan said in a statement.

HII Mission Technologies' Henry Choi Shares How 'Data Fabric' Is Key to DOD's All-Domain Future

Data is king in the digital age, and it has become an increasingly crucial element in informing the United States’ strategies both on and off the battlefield. In this Executive Spotlight interview, Henry Choi, vice president of growth and strategy at HII Mission Technologies, shared his thoughts on how data enables CJADC2, major GovCon market trends and HII’s strategic vision for the future. 

FDA’s views on AI are evolving

"A lot of that data sits either in silos within the same organization or across organizations. So the one thing that I think collectively the ecosystem needs to think about is: How do we increase the pool of fit-for-purpose data to train models better?"

AI not yet a 'revolutionary influence tool,' US says

A top official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the U.S. agency charged with overseeing election security, told VOA earlier this month that to this point the malicious use of AI has not been able to live up to some of the hype. “Generative AI is not going to fundamentally introduce new threats to this election cycle,” said CISA senior adviser Cait Conley. “What we're seeing is consistent with what we expected to see.” That does not mean, however, that U.S. adversaries are not trying.

From data to delivery: How GenAI is shaping the future of public service

“GenAI efforts should always be linked to real-world goals and needs (such as better quality of life, financial growth, national security or simple internal efficiencies), and not pursued in and of themselves,” he explained. Tan shared a few potential use cases for GenAI in the government, top challenges faced in scaling up the technology, as well as potential ways to overcome those challenges.

Quality Data a Must for an Interoperable IC, According to Experts

“AI is dependent upon data. It’s the quality of the data, it’s the speed of access to data, and of course, the algorithmic solutions associated with AI and the modeling that’s put into place that drives the result of AI,” he said. While the vast expanse of data available today offers numerous opportunities for government agencies, “we have to be a little more deliberate in the Department and Defense and IC about where the data’s coming from,” said Mark Munsell, director of data and digital innovation at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

NYC Adds, Simplifies Data Sets in Annual Open Data Report

“I think New York City’s administrative data is one of the most critical assets the city has,” said NYC Chief Analytics Officer Martha Norrick. “In addition to the ways that city officials are using that data, having this data be open really means that New Yorkers can use this data, as well, to advocate for the things that they want to see in their community.”

The Growing Importance of Data Monetization in the Age of AI

Data monetization financially incentivizes organizations to share their internal data safely. It creates the economic model for an open data sharing ecosystem, which is opening up new opportunities for businesses across various sectors. Companies that share data in compliance with data protection and privacy regulations can build fast-growing data-as-a-service (DaaS) businesses safely.  This practice not only maximizes the value of existing resources but also supports innovation and improved decision-making, whilst protecting the original rights holder of the data. 

FBI’s Carahsoft raid comes amid allegations of price-fixing

News of the raid prompted speculation about possible — but thus far unsubstantiated — links to an ongoing court case that was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland last year and involved efforts to defraud government agencies. The names of the vendors allegedly involved in the scheme were redacted. A report in Bloomberg, citing an unredacted filing, named SAP and noted that prosecutors were also examining other resellers and a unit of Accenture. 

Building the Best Data Pipelines

Traditionally, data pipelines have been linear, making the extract, transform, load (ETL) process the norm. Businesses would extract data from sources, transform and clean up the data, and then load it into a data warehouse or data lake. But as AI technologies increasingly drive digital transformations, data pipelines must evolve to become non-linear and avoid moving data as much as possible to accommodate the weight of unstructured data and the iterative nature of AI.

'Working with AI will soon be just like onboarding new employees,' says NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang

During a fireside chat with Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Huang emphasised that AI won’t replace human workers but will instead complement them. By taking over repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as data entry, AI will free employees to focus on more strategic and creative work. Huang likened the integration of AI to onboarding a new colleague, where the AI agent is introduced, trained, and given specific tasks to support the business.
