A team of researchers from the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity and Lockheed Martin has started updating its dataset of satellite imagery to train their deep learning algorithms to identify indiscreet establishments, C4ISRNET reported Wednesday.

The Crane Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center and Indiana University's Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research are continuing a partnership that aims to develop artificial intelligence and software technologies. A newly signed cooperative research and development agreement continues a collaboration that NSWC and the university began in 2016, Naval Sea Systems Command said Tuesday.

The Defense Department is projected to increase its spending on projects to research, develop, test and evaluate artificial intelligence-based systems from $1.44B in fiscal 2017 to $1.88B in fiscal 2019, Bloomberg Government reported Friday.

La’Naia Jones, deputy chief information officer at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, has said the intelligence community has implemented a new strategy for the second iteration of the IC Information Technology Enterprise program to facilitate use of artificial intelligence, reduce duplication and adjust to agency requirements, MeriTalk reported Tuesday.

U.S. intelligence community leaders have said they believe artificial intelligence and automation could help intelligence analysts process a larger pool of data to explore a scenario and address a problem, Federal News Radio reported Thursday. Neil Wiley, director for analysis at the Defense Intelligence Agency, said he believes having access to large volumes of data through automation would lead to new possibilities from an ethical and analytical perspective.

U.S. intelligence community leaders have said adopting artificial intelligence is not meant to replace analysts but to help them focus more on the big picture than on data processing activities, FedScoop reported Wednesday. “I think the opportunity that we see, in terms of the application, is that [AI] can be a very powerful sidecar to our scarcest resources, which is really good analysts,” said Dawn Meyerriecks, director of science and technology at CIA.

Rosetta Lue, senior contact center adviser at the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Office of Information Technology, said the department plans to employ artificial intelligence tools to reform its customer service operations, Federal News Radio reported Friday.
