AI-powered app aims to discover talent in Guard, Reserve
By David Vergun, DOD News
ARLINGTON, Va. – Members of the Reserve and National Guard are highly skilled across various private-sector industries and have the potential to make substantial contributions to Defense Department missions, a DOD official said.
But the department is not always aware of that talent, said Scott Sumner, technical project manager at Defense Innovation Unit's artificial intelligence/machine learning portfolio.
For example, Reservists in their civilian jobs might be working on cloud computing, software engineering, cybersecurity, or other in-demand skills. The department has no way to find them or to know that those skills even exist, Sumner said.
That could soon change.
