Going Fast and Far With Practical AI
The clock is ticking for AI readiness, adoption, and capability overmatch. Artificial Intelligence has
changed how wars are fought and deterred. Innovation is no longer measured in hardware years;
it’s measured in coding weeks. Plainly, the United States is in an AI arms race and our
adversaries are moving fast. Building and deploying the latest jets, tanks, and rockets at scale is
no longer enough to outpace the competition. The DoD and other governmental agencies must
collaborate with industry to ship code for strategic and tactical advantage. Robert Matney,
Director of Public Sector Partnerships at Primer will unpack the mission at hand along with the
path to maintaining a technological advantage across an increasingly asymmetric landscape. He
will highlight the vulnerabilities, delve into the challenges of implementing AI in the defense
sector, and offer insights on how the community can define its AI strategy while building trust
among stakeholders. Matney will also provide concrete examples of how AI can be applied to
solve military challenges such as asset tracking, mission planning, logistics, and budgeting.
