DNI.gov The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — today launched an innovative program that, for the first time, takes aim at the psychology of a cyber...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly integrating into daily lives in the U.S. and around the world. From AI applications on our smart phones, to smart speakers and appliances, and through language applications like ChatGPT, AI is revolutionizing the way humans live their lives. Similarly, for the Intelligence Community (IC), AI has...
DNI.gov The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) — the research and development arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — today launched a new quantum computing program aimed at overcoming the field’s next major challenge en route to its promise of solving physics, chemistry, and...
If you’ve been following numerous media stories over the last few years, you already know that quantum computing promises to be the next big thing in computing and is under feverish development by countries and companies across the globe. While the promises may hold true, the reality is that today’s computers and...
The Video LINCS program aims to develop novel capabilities to autonomously re-identify objects across diverse video sensor collections and map all objects to a common reference frame. Re-identification (reID) is the process of matching the same object across a video collection, to determine where the object appears throughout the video. ...
