The Department of the Air Force–Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Accelerator recently hosted an AI workshop for the Air Force Test Pilot School. The event brought together 40 students for the 11-day learning experience, the Air Force announced in a press release.

“This workshop prepares our testers to lead the integration of AI and machine learning into Air Force operations,” said Maj. Morgan Mitchell, DAF-MIT AIA workshop manager. “Test pilots and engineers need to understand how to design, evaluate and apply these technologies in real-world scenarios.”

Josée Kurtz, Canada’s maritime component commander. “By operating with our United States partners, we demonstrate our collective readiness to respond with agility and resolve in the maritime domain.”
