WEBVTT 00:06.949 --> 00:09.829 Right . The naval Data and AI workshop 00:10.180 --> 00:12.460 is a community focused event to really 00:12.460 --> 00:16.270 bring together uh civilians and sailors 00:16.270 --> 00:19.020 marines and other war fighters to talk 00:19.020 --> 00:20.909 about the challenges that we have 00:20.909 --> 00:23.540 within the data and AI arena and the 00:23.540 --> 00:25.651 ways that we can really get at things 00:25.651 --> 00:27.651 at the speed of mission . I come to 00:27.651 --> 00:29.318 this event every year since I 00:29.318 --> 00:31.659 discovered it like 3 or 4 years ago . I 00:31.659 --> 00:33.548 came to this event really for two 00:33.548 --> 00:35.790 reasons . The first one is because I'm 00:35.790 --> 00:37.939 working with an II team . The second 00:37.939 --> 00:40.380 reason is I've said I want if I could 00:40.380 --> 00:42.547 ask for anything , I want better tools 00:42.547 --> 00:45.819 and training , and tools is what we're 00:45.819 --> 00:46.986 talking about here . 00:50.360 --> 00:52.479 All days are really focused around 00:52.479 --> 00:55.750 bringing together uh VIP speakers , uh , 00:55.759 --> 00:58.669 hosting panels and then uh having these 00:58.669 --> 01:01.000 uh human centered design workshops uh 01:01.000 --> 01:02.667 for people to work together . 01:05.128 --> 01:07.458 The , the Navy is really focused around 01:07.458 --> 01:09.347 data now to provide them decision 01:09.347 --> 01:11.458 advantage and operational advantage . 01:11.860 --> 01:13.804 The better you know yourself , the 01:13.804 --> 01:15.971 better you're gonna be able to fight . 01:15.971 --> 01:18.027 So there are multiple uh data and AI 01:18.027 --> 01:20.249 events for the Department of the Navy . 01:20.249 --> 01:22.471 We're the only one that's uh limited to 01:22.471 --> 01:24.527 government and military only . We're 01:24.527 --> 01:26.693 really focused on the problems and how 01:26.693 --> 01:28.693 we can come together as a community 01:28.693 --> 01:30.916 that solve the problems . We're talking 01:30.916 --> 01:33.639 about issues that our community is 01:33.639 --> 01:35.806 concerned about and needs to help find 01:35.806 --> 01:38.028 solutions for . At every echelon in the 01:38.028 --> 01:41.839 navy , people are being asked to do 01:41.839 --> 01:43.672 more with less . We have all the 01:43.672 --> 01:45.783 information we need to enable leaders 01:45.783 --> 01:47.783 to make all the decisions that they 01:47.783 --> 01:50.099 need . But we don't have the tools to 01:50.099 --> 01:52.540 get that information to them in a 01:52.540 --> 01:54.930 timely fashion and in a language they 01:54.930 --> 01:58.220 understand , and so the bringing 01:58.220 --> 02:02.220 the data management to bear is going 02:02.220 --> 02:04.419 to be hugely important . We need to 02:04.419 --> 02:07.180 capitalize on that and start using it 02:07.180 --> 02:10.779 now and and get a framework on how to 02:10.779 --> 02:13.485 use it for the . We've actually had uh 02:13.485 --> 02:15.596 activities that have come together in 02:15.596 --> 02:17.652 in these relationships have actually 02:17.652 --> 02:19.652 turned into uh cool solutions . For 02:19.652 --> 02:21.596 example , I , I , the first time I 02:21.596 --> 02:23.763 heard about Jupiter Nirvana was here a 02:23.763 --> 02:26.085 few years ago and and that helped 02:26.085 --> 02:28.184 change the whole direction of how we 02:28.184 --> 02:30.295 were doing things at N Pacific in the 02:30.295 --> 02:32.517 following year . The CNO dashboard that 02:32.517 --> 02:35.625 we uh have a team here developing uh 02:35.625 --> 02:37.847 was actually started at a workshop last 02:37.847 --> 02:40.330 year . And talent got brought together 02:40.330 --> 02:42.386 and now we're at where we're at with 02:42.386 --> 02:44.386 this dashboard that that the CNO is 02:44.386 --> 02:46.889 able to use daily uh to get at her 02:46.889 --> 02:49.056 important metrics . It's really been a 02:49.056 --> 02:51.169 great source of collaboration between 02:51.169 --> 02:53.660 Pacific , Nrick Atlantic , um , and 02:53.660 --> 02:55.860 other locations . You have a lot of 02:55.860 --> 02:58.570 very smart engineers , data scientists , 02:58.899 --> 03:01.990 uh , AI professionals and other 03:01.990 --> 03:04.300 leadership in the room that can affect 03:04.300 --> 03:06.940 change and can get at problems and so 03:06.940 --> 03:09.585 we really . Fight the fleet to come and 03:09.585 --> 03:11.696 be a part of this and help us make it 03:11.696 --> 03:13.863 even better every year . We're finding 03:13.863 --> 03:15.863 new capabilities that the fleet are 03:15.863 --> 03:18.029 asking for that we can help facilitate 03:18.029 --> 03:20.196 getting to the war fighter in the very 03:20.196 --> 03:22.252 near term . Nava Atlantic hosts this 03:22.252 --> 03:24.615 because we have a large cadre of data 03:24.615 --> 03:27.024 scientists and AI experts here . We 03:27.024 --> 03:31.024 have around 260 plus individuals uh 03:31.024 --> 03:34.464 in our group , and over 120 of those 03:34.464 --> 03:36.804 are data science and AI professionals 03:36.804 --> 03:39.026 like . I think that's all they do every 03:39.026 --> 03:41.229 day and so we have built this huge 03:41.229 --> 03:43.940 cadre of knowledge and and talent here 03:44.220 --> 03:46.109 and we wanted to give back to the 03:46.109 --> 03:48.164 larger community and this was one of 03:48.164 --> 03:50.442 the ways that we were able to get back . 03:50.442 --> 03:52.498 It's not just about solving problems 03:52.498 --> 03:54.609 it's really the relationships and the 03:54.609 --> 03:56.831 diverse perspectives and how we can all 03:56.831 --> 03:59.053 come together as a team , the Navy team 03:59.053 --> 04:01.220 to really win . There's a lot of value 04:01.220 --> 04:03.387 here because this really seems to be a 04:03.387 --> 04:05.331 consolidated place where both data 04:05.331 --> 04:07.625 scientists and the folk . Who need data 04:07.625 --> 04:10.354 scientists can understand what tools 04:10.354 --> 04:12.585 exist and what opportunities exist now 04:12.585 --> 04:14.807 as well as what are being developed and 04:14.807 --> 04:17.464 being able to bring that back to the 04:17.464 --> 04:20.304 commands that I'm a part of or will be 04:20.304 --> 04:22.795 a part of will be important to ensuring 04:22.795 --> 04:24.684 that they take advantage of those 04:24.684 --> 04:26.906 opportunities . I've enjoyed every time 04:26.906 --> 04:29.073 I've come here . I've always gone away 04:29.073 --> 04:28.915 with a lot of things that I've learned 04:28.915 --> 04:31.026 that I didn't know before I came here 04:31.026 --> 04:33.734 and I'll be incorporating that over the 04:33.734 --> 04:35.904 next year and looking forward to next 04:35.904 --> 04:36.904 engagement . 04:40.890 --> 04:40.899 Yeah
