WASHINGTON — Classes on and insights into the fields of artificial intelligence, big-data analytics and wireless communications technologies are now available across the U.S. Department of Defense courtesy of an arrangement with a prominent school.
The Defense Department’s Chief Digital and AI Office, or CDAO, on Nov. 16 announced the launch of “Digital On-Demand,” providing both military and civilian workforces access to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s online learning library.
The initiative, made possible through the Air and Space forces’ Digital University, is meant to foster a baseline understanding of AI and other emerging technologies, according to Craig Martell, who leads the CDAO. The office was established in 2021 to expedite the defense world’s embrace of AI and best-in-class data practices.
