Interviews, Speaking, and Media

The Emerging Technology Institute

ETI provides research and analyses to inform the development and integration of emerging technologies into the defense industrial base.

In this interview with Dr. Mark Lewis, we discuss “How can we increase our understanding of how AI models can fit into our lives? How do we translate data science concepts to subject matter experts? How do we attract the best AI talent?”

We also discuss the test and evaluation in AI, building resilience in testing models, AI ethics, and more.
