At this Summit, you will have the chance to hear from senior leaders across the DoD and Military Services on current and future initiatives for the facilitation of enhanced technologies onto autonomous systems, as well as critical assessments of the challenges, gaps, and opportunities when integrating autonomous capabilities in the battlefield This event will explain how AI and autonomous capabilities are quickly becoming the future of War and will need to be utilized in order to compete in the Great Power competition. These enhanced capabilities will also reduce the number of Warfighters in harm’s way and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of decision making for combat effectiveness. At this event, delegates will hear sessions that will help guide their understanding on how fully leveraging autonomy across the DoD can improve total Force readiness and empower the Warfighter. The 2019 Summit will also give an in depth look at new initiatives that have been established throughout the DoD to help the U.S. remain a leader in AI and autonomous capability integration. The Joint Artificial Intelligence Center and the National Security Commission on AI have been established to field and further develop these disruptive, emerging technologies in order to outpace the adversary. - - Topics Covered at the 2019 Summit: - Facilitating the application of AI & Autonomous systems across the DoD to better counter the adversary & disrupt future conflicts - Leveraging Advancements in Autonomy to Modernize the US Army - Advancing the Cross-Domain Integration of Autonomous & UxS Capabilities in Support of the Future Naval Fleet - Developing & Driving Autonomous Capabilities & Technologies in Support of the Future USMC Force - Integrating AI for improved Autonomous Intelligent Maneuver - Exploiting innovative autonomous systems to maximize USAF capabilities & increase force readiness - Analyzing how advances in AI, Machine Learning, Autonomy and other technologies could affect the future of national security - Developing Innovative AI and Autonomous Capabilities to Guide the Evolution of Army Technological Capabilities - Leveraging emerging & disruptive technologies to enhance Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) __________________________________________________________________________________ At our Summit You Will Have the Ability to: Gain Education & Insight: Walk away with knowledge gained from our senior level speakers on some of the most complex issues facing the DoD and Government as it relates to autonomy, AI, and machine learning.
