Get the Scoop on AI Innovation

(NewsUSA) - The AI+ Expo, taking place on June 2-4 in Washington, D.C., seeks to spark discussions of ideas and initiatives related to the intersection of AI, emerging technology, and national security.

The AI+ Expo is sponsored by the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), a nonprofit and nonpartisan initiative with a goal of making recommendations to strengthen America's long-term competitiveness in AI.

Don’t Miss the Drones

A highlight of this year’s AI+ Expo is a drone assembly workshop, where attendees can learn about the inner workings of drones, try simulators to learn and practice speed and agility skills, and watch professional pilot demos.

In addition, the Expo is hosting an interservice U.S. Military Drone Competition in partnership with the U.S. National Drone Association. The competition is open to all military service members, as well as high school and college students. Apply on the Expo website to sign up.

Engage in The Exchange: Innovation and National Security

This year’s Exchange is the fourth in a series, and brings together AI experts from the government, private sector, and scientific community to examine how to advance collaboration in pursuit of national security. The SCSP Exchanges were inspired by Dr. Ash Carter, the 25th Secretary of Defense, whose pioneering work initiated a transformational change across the U.S. government. The Exchange is set to continue the extraordinary discussions and connections made during previous events.

The SCSP is teaming up with AGI House to co-host its third—and biggest—Hackathon yet!
