What if you could integrate every piece of relevant data you have before you make a decision about what to do next.
We're talking video, audio, text, research, diagnostics, social media-anything that is relevant.
The U.S. Air Force is working on this challenge and about to make another major push to do this, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. NextGov has a nice write-up on this effort:
"The goal is to change the way every commander, airman, and even thinking machine makes decisions. It’s a program called Data to Decision, or D2D. Launched last year, the program will expand significantly in 2018, service officials say.
What is D2D aiming for? “A complete cycle of understanding, from predicting what we expect to encounter, prescribe what can be done to help understand the environment, then find, fix, track, target, engage, assess, anything, anytime, anywhere in any domain” Mark Tapper, the Air Force’s Champion for Data 2 Decision, an experimentation campaign underpinning the Air Superiority 2030 flight plan, said via email. “Our mantra is improve every decision – those made by airmen or by machines.”
That includes decisions about where a piece of information or data needs to go next.
