DAF-MIT Artificial Intelligence Accelerator

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Department of the Air Force are creating state-of-the-art, end-to-end, sustainable pipelines for Artificial Intelligence technology to give the United States a competitive advantage in the defense and civilian sectors. The AI Accelerator is the only unit dedicated to AI in the Department of Defense. Their core areas of focus are conducting research, building partnerships, influencing policy and providing AI education to the entirety of the DAF. They do this by leveraging universities, small businesses, traditional defense, and non-traditional commercial ventures, collaborating with the Air Force and Space Force to develop and ensure the ethical use of AI technologies for society and the nation.
