YOU ALL: Test and Evaluation Challenges in Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Systems for the Department of the Air Force
Recent developments in artificial intelligence are introducing exciting new potential capabilities for the U.S. Department of the Air Force (DAF), from cybersecurity to autonomous drones.  However, if the DAF wants to fully and safely leverage these technologies, they need a robust approach to testing, evaluating, and assessing the performance of AI-enabled systems under operational conditions.

The National Academies invites you to join us for a public briefing webinar for our new report Test and Evaluation Challenges in Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Systems for the Department of the Air Force on Thursday, September 7, 2023 from 12-1pm ET.  During the webinar, members of the committee will discuss the technical, operational, and training needs to best position the DAF to benefit from AI-enabled systems.

The exhibition is organized by Aperture and is made possible, in part, with generous support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
