Agenda Released for DSI’s Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit

Back for its 4th iteration, Defense Strategies Institute will host the Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit on September 29-30, 2020. Sessions will focus on this year’s theme of “Utilizing Autonomous Technologies to Increase Warfighter Flexibility.”

 

Alexandria, VA – Defense Strategies Institute will host its 4th Annual Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit to detail the advanced capabilities that AI-enabled autonomous systems and machine learning provide to the Warfighter in the battlespace.

The Summit will focus on current initiatives being enacted to leverage the flexibility that autonomous capabilities can provide the Warfighter in the future fight, both to facilitate the DoD’s strategy of developing technologically superior weapons systems to further compete in the Great Power competition, and to outpace adversaries who will also utilize artificial intelligence & other means to their advantage.

DSI’s team specializes in extensive research and development of the summit’s content and focus areas, and always assembles the most respected minds in the AI and machine learning communities.
