Navy sets date for all employees to incorporate AI tools

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

The Department of the Navy is one the biggest users of the Defense Department’s Gen AI.mil platform. The Navy designated the generative artificial intelligence tool as an enterprise service in just five days after evaluating it. It also told all employees to use it for controlled unclassified information and Impact Level 5 (IL5) data by April 30 or yesterday. But just giving sailors, marines and civilians access to the large language models and saying “use it” without any training is not a recipe for success. For more on how the DON is ensuring its employees are gaining real benefits from AI tools, Federal News Network executive editor Jason Miller joins me with details.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
