“Balancing the Triangle: Talent and R&D in the Time of AI”
Mark Seip
Director, MITRE Corp & Adjunct Assistant Professor,
Abstract: As one who comes from the government side of the “industry/academia/government triangle,” the continuing shift in both AI talent and research and development (R&D) toward industry and away from the other two I believe is creating challenges that are increasingly difficult to overcome. This is even more sharp when looking at it through the lens of national security, especially when trying to mobilize large government institutions in adopting emerging technologies like AI. How the government can use policies to build up talent and encourage greater cooperation with industry and with academia is the focus of this talk.
