Traylor said Tuesday that the decision resulted in Third Judicial District Attorney John Belton choosing not to appeal, over other prosecutors on his staff. “Some of the…
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) officials say the challenge with artificial intelligence (AI) is not a lack of capabilities, but rather providing warfighters with valuable, AI-enabled, and easy-to-use capabilities. Today at AFCEA NOVA's Department of Defense Enterprise IT Day, Deepak Seth, AI technical lead for DISA's Emerging Technologies division, said that while DISA has many capabilities to choose from in today's AI environment, “the problem is… It's about how you can utilize the functionality.” How can we drive them towards production?” For example, large-scale language models (LLMs) provide users with models that are pre-trained on large datasets and can be…
