ADELPHI, Md. — A cohort of 25 Soldiers and three civilians mastered the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and machine learning as part of a special course taught by experts at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory, also known as DEVCOM ARL.
Mid-career Army officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers traveled from across the nation to attend the course. The goal was for participants to finish the course with an in-depth understanding of how they might leverage AI for their particular role in the Army.
“The instructors did a phenomenal job breaking down complex concepts like convolutional layers, generative adversarial networks and transformer models into digestible lessons, even for non-technical folks,” said Capt. Nathan Jackson
