Intel Federal's Steve Orrin Discusses Benefits, Challenges to AI-Powered Analytics at the Edge - top government contractors - best government contracting event

Intel Federal‘s Steve Orrin believes advances in artificial intelligence can provide the military with benefits beyond object identification, offering, instead, enhanced situational awareness by making it possible to process data from various sources and draw connections that human analysts might otherwise miss.

To realize these benefits, however, AI processing would have to take place at the edge, a capability that, itself, poses multiple challenges, Orrin, the chief technology officer at Intel Federal, said in a column published Thursday on C4ISRNet.

These challenges include the need for increased computational power at the edge, the ability of systems to operate even in degraded communications, more efficient AI models and new security measures to counter attacks aimed at AI and its outputs.

Orrin noted, however, that despite these challenges, pursuing AI capabilities at the tactical edge is worthwhile because of the advantages they provide especially during combat.

“By enabling advanced analytics at the edge, data can be quickly transformed into actionable intelligence, augmenting human decision-making with real-time information and providing a strategic advantage over adversaries,” Orrin said.
