AI Promises to Unlock Research Potential to Solve Big Challenges
The federal government is doing everything it can to encourage agencies to adopt artificial intelligence tools to improve all aspects of their performance, while simultaneously paying close attention to potential risks of this exciting new technology. Currently, few agencies have adequate access to supercomputers and the deep expertise needed to operate the technology and test potential applications on secure infrastructure.
This is beginning to change. For instance, MITRE, a nonprofit organization that operates federally funded research and development centers, is establishing a new AI-powered system that will provide government researchers and developers access to massive computing leaps in areas as diverse as climate science, healthcare, and cybersecurity.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the role of large language models in training AI systems and tools
- Review the national, even global, challenges such as climate change and how utilizing AI to iterate different climate models can lead to new ideas for addressing it
- Outline the considerations for testing potential solutions in a safe environment on secure infrastructure
