As agencies race to put generative artificial intelligence (AI) into production, many are confronting the same challenge: The bigger and more “all-in-one” the model gets, the harder it becomes to predict outcomes, explain decisions, and demonstrate accountability. […]
The push to modernize government IT is colliding with a hard reality: The most important data isn’t always generated where networks are strong, cloud connectivity is reliable, or power and cooling are abundant. […]
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is accelerating long-planned technology upgrades to meet today’s air traffic realities: more flights, new entrants like drones, and rising expectations for resiliency after recent system and workforce impacts. Ongoing efforts to modernize the National Airspace System (NAS) and the Trump administration’s plan to overhaul the nation’s air traffic control system underscore the urgency. […]
Municipal governments are under continued pressure to save money while delivering more and better services, noted John Dvorak, chief technology officer for public sector at Red Hat, during the recent Red Hat Government Symposium. […]
As missile threats evolve and the Arctic grows more accessible, defense leaders are rethinking what it takes to protect the homeland in the High North. Speaking on a recent Red Hat Government Symposium panel, “Missile Defense in the Digital Age,” experts underscored that the next generation of missile defense will depend on artificial intelligence (AI)-ready data, resilient networks, and close cooperation among allies. […]
At the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), modeling and simulation (M&S) isn’t an academic exercise; it’s a path to better, faster, safer decisions in real-world situations. By building shared digital twins, running batches of what-if tests, and letting operators and engineers adjust the same model together, NPS teams pull months and years out of planning and reduce risk before anyone touches a flight line or flips a switch on an installation. […]
In this episode of MeriTalking, Nicole Burdette sits down with ICF’s Kyle Tuberson to discuss how agencies can go from lab to live, supported by a consistent delivery approach in ICF’s Fathom, which bakes in security, governance, and integration with existing systems. They’ll also address the drivers for AI, from efficiency pressures to practical technology […]
In a recent MeriTalk webinar, experts warned that supply chain attacks are increasing in volume and sophistication, as nation-state actors weaponize artificial intelligence (AI) to move faster across the software supply chain. FSIs need to rethink how they apply zero trust and data security to keep pace, they advised. […]
For federal agencies and industry partners, NVIDIA’s GTC DC conference felt less like a standard tech gathering and more like a strategic planning session for the next era of artificial intelligence (AI). Sessions touched every part of the federal AI landscape: supercomputing, infrastructure, mission delivery, and policy, providing a clear picture of where government capabilities are headed. […]
In this episode of MeriTalking, Nicole Burdette sits down with LaRel Rogers, staff product marketing manager for federal at Okta, to discuss the rise of agentic AI and its impact across government. Together, they explore how autonomous AI agents are transforming mission delivery, along with strategies for protecting critical access points and data flows between human users, AI agents, and sensitive government systems.
