On November 7, the Department of War released an acquisition transformation strategy that seeks to remove bureaucratic hurdles and streamline acquisition processes to enable even more rapid adoption of technologies, including artificial intelligence. Getting AI into the hands of warfighters requires disciplined AI Engineering. In this podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, Carol Smith, lead of human-centered research in the SEI's AI Division, and Brigid O'Hearn, the SEI's lead of software modernization policy for the Department of War, sit down with Eileen Wrubel, the SEI's technical director of Transforming Software Acquisition Policy and Practice, to discuss AI Engineering challenges and guidance in the defense acquisition space.

Cyber Intelligence is a rapidly changing field, and many organizations do not have the people, time, and funding in place to build a cyber intelligence team, according to a report on cyber intelligence released in late May by researchers in the SEI's Emerging Technology Center. As this podcast details, the report provides a snapshot of best practices and biggest challenges along with three guides for implementing cyber intelligence with artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and public cyber threat frameworks. Lead author Jared Ettinger discusses the findings of the report, which the SEI conducted on behalf of the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The SEI Emerging Technology Center is conducting a study sponsored by the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence to understand cyber intelligence best practices, common challenges, and future technologies that we will culminate in a published report. Through interviews with U.S.-based organizations from a variety of sectors, researchers are identifying tools, practices, and resources that help those organizations make informed decisions that protect their information and assets. In this podcast, Jared Ettinger describes preliminary findings from the interviews including best practices in cyber intelligence. Listen on Apple Podcasts.
