While the United States is home to more than half of the top universities in the world, there is more work to be done when it comes to artificial intelligence education – and that’s something NVIDIA is trying to improve. According to U.S. News & World Report, only 10% of the top global AI universities are in the United States. […]

MITRE – which operates federally funded R&D centers for federal sponsors and focuses on scientific and technology issues in the national interest – on Oct. 9 announced the first three use cases for its MITRE Federal AI Sandbox, a supercomputer that will help train advanced AI models using the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. […]

Human-like robots, or humanoids, have long been prevalent in science fiction movies – take Star Wars’ C-3PO for example. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence and physically-based simulation are accelerating humanoid robot development. NVIDIA provides 3 accelerated computing platforms – NVIDIA DGX, Omniverse, and Jetson AGX for robot makers to make these humanoid robots a reality. […]

Experts say the cybersecurity problem is too vast and complex to be solved by traditional approaches alone. Artificial intelligence (AI) can offer a lifeline to organizations overwhelmed by massive volumes of information technology (IT) and OT data as they try to stay ahead of the next big threat. MeriTalk recently sat down with two cybersecurity and AI experts at NVIDIA – Bartley Richardson, director of cybersecurity engineering, and David Reber, the company’s chief security officer, to discuss how AI can help solve the thorniest cybersecurity challenges. […]

High-performance sensor architectures are allowing for faster data processing as more data continues to become available and requires processing for analysis and artificial intelligence applications, officials from NVIDIA and Lockheed Martin said on March 24 at the NVIDIA GTC Conference. […]

Splunk’s cybersecurity and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) suite can be combined with NVIDIA Morpheus running on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s (HPE) Edgeline GPU-accelerated converged edge platform to provide AI-enabled real-time monitoring and remediation of an edge network, all while saving analysts and data scientists time. […]

As use of artificial intelligence (AI) increases across the public and private sector, companies like Lockheed Martin are using AI advancements to further missions and to even collaborate with NVIDIA to address wildfires. […]

On today’s episode of MeriTalking, MeriTalk’s Nicole Burdette sits down with Jay Boisseau, AI & HPC Technology Strategist at Dell Technologies, and Marc Hamilton, Vice President of Solutions Architecture and Engineering at NVIDIA, to explore the steps agencies are taking toward “digital first government” and what this means from a workforce, cybersecurity, and emerging technology perspective.   […]

Emerging tech

Over the past 20 years, government agencies have worked to shift from paper-based to digital operations. Early efforts, too often, went halfway. Agencies digitized the front end, but back-end operations largely remained the same. And on the front end, a digital customer experience was not as robust as it was in person. For example, early-stage digital government offered citizens access to forms online, which was convenient. But if someone had a question, there was no mechanism for in-person follow-up or an immediate response. […]

Federal IT leaders want to see their agencies achieve enterprise-wide artificial intelligence (AI) proficiency in the next three to four years, according to a recent survey from MeriTalk underwritten by Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, “From Pilots to Proficiency: Operationalizing Federal AI.” […]

Six months into a highly successful make-or-break campaign to put the Federal government workforce on a remote-work footing to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, the hard-won experience of that battle has paved the way for renewed action on broader IT modernization, government and private sector officials said on a recent MeriTalk webinar. […]

The Federal government took important steps forward with artificial intelligence (AI) technology policy in 2019 with the AI Executive Order, the DoD AI strategy, and the OPEN Government Act. With that said, however, weaving AI into our Federal DNA means integrating with (often aging) agency infrastructure and rethinking how we solve problems and deliver services. […]

Alex Measure, senior economist at the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)–who has developed and deployed an artificial intelligence application to help the agency analyze workforce health data–said on Tuesday that convincing agency leaders to pursue AI applications can be the toughest part of the development and deployment journey. […]

Machine learning AI modernization

Federal agency officials said on Tuesday that internal work to develop artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is picking up, but also cautioned that the still-experimental nature of those efforts makes it difficult to predict when products and services will emerge from them. […]

As the Federal government looks to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to help improve citizen services and lower government costs, applications that enable this new computer-based intelligence via application programming interfaces (APIs) might be the least disruptive and inexpensive way for agencies to get started. […]

An official with data storage technologies provider Pure Storage told MeriTalk that issues holding back Federal government adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies include the high cost of super-computing resources and the continued reliance of government agencies on legacy IT systems that were not created with AI applications in mind. […]

Artificial intelligence is sexy–no doubt about it. From self-driving cars to personal assistant technology that can anticipate your every need, the future of AI looks promising. However, the actual technology can be confusing. And rarely does the reality of AI match up to expectations created by Hollywood portrayals. […]
