Ten national laboratories, including Sandia, shared one of the largest booths at the AI Expo for National Competitiveness from May 7-8 in Washington, D.C. The new conference provided the DOE with an opportunity to demonstrate how the nation’s scientists, researchers and engineers are working together to advance and apply the power of artificial intelligence.
Because of recent advances such as ChatGPT, the greater population can now easily interact with and use AI, but AI is not new to Sandia. Scientists and engineers at the Labs have been creating and employing AI and machine learning algorithms for many years. Adoption of AI is rapidly accelerating due to the availability of user-centered large language models and commercial tools that can be leveraged across all fields to expedite projects and results.
More than 13,000 people registered for the AI Expo, including government stakeholders, academia and industry partners in attendance.
Jen Gaudioso, Sandia director for computing research, understood the criticality of the event. “The AI Expo provided a forum for us to exhibit some of the latest technological breakthroughs being developed for science, security and energy applications and also discuss their implications for the U.S. and allied competitiveness.”
Fifteen Sandians from six divisions attended the expo and presented state-of-the-art advancements in applied machine intelligence and virtual reality, including two demos led by Danny Gomez, Demitri Maestas, Kevin Potter and Aniket Pant.
One AI-powered demo featured in the booth has virtual reality understanding. Continue reading about Sandia’s work and expertise in AI in the full article.
