Attention innovators, we have exciting news – we’re launching a brand-new competition in the fall. We’re excited to present the Technical Grand Challenge! The US Army will be launching a competition this fall for small businesses, large businesses, academia, and non-traditional defense contractors to develop innovative approaches to new and existing Army #AI problems. The competition will utilize #Army data, Army use-cases, and apply your collaborative solutions in a live technical challenge. When ASA(ALT) announced their AI Implementation plan, we were ready to join the effort with new competition ideas. At the finals, participants will put their AI solutions to the test with challenges ranging in complexity and topics. Participants can expect to receive direct feedback from subject matter experts throughout the competition, compete for cash prizes, and network with key stakeholders. We don’t want to give too much away just yet, but we can’t wait to launch this competition. In the meantime, keep an eye on our website and socials, and if you see us at an event, make sure you stop by to hear about the exciting opportunities we have coming up! https://lnkd.in/grJFAgKf
