REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — August 9, 2023 — C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI application software company, today announced the second annual AI Defense Forum will take place on Wednesday, September 13 in Tysons, Virginia.
The 2023 AI Defense Forum provides the defense and intelligence community, government officials, and advanced users with a forum to discuss how the adoption of AI is vital to creating modern, robust defense strategies that maintain our decision advantage against adversaries and strengthen national security.
“The imperative to quickly integrate advanced technology such as AI into U.S. defense and intelligence operations must be balanced with policy and security considerations, which is a major theme for this year’s AI Defense Forum,” said Ed Abbo, President and CTO of C3 AI. “As a long-term partner of the U.S. Air Force and the Missile Defense Agency, C3 AI understands the conversations and considerations necessary when working to integrate this type of technology into mission-ready solutions that will be used on the modern battlefield.”
This year’s keynotes and panels will address the most pressing challenges and opportunities defense and intelligence communities face in the AI era: how AI can improve equipment readiness, mission success, and increase capabilities in contested spaces; how generative AI can be adopted for defense applications; and how the country should implement policy regarding the technology. At the forum, professionals can explore cutting-edge defense applications and converse with those who will shape the future of defense.
