Yesterday, our Warfighter Capabilities Chief & #TaskForceLima Commander, CAPT X Lugo, & Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)'s Program Manager for Information and Innovation Office (I20), Dr. Velasquez, provided refreshing perspectives and interesting insight on implementing #AI solutions across the United States Department of Defense at Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s Public Sector Summit #DoD Day. The discussion included comparisons of "classic" AI versus #generativeAI use cases and approaches and ended with a key takeaway about the #humancapital gap in this federal space.
