On May 7th and 8th, SCSP will host its first-ever AI Expo for National Competitiveness – alongside the second Ash Carter Exchange on Innovation And National Security – at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. We envision this expo becoming the place to convene and build relationships around AI, technology, and U.S. and allied competitiveness. The AI Expo is meant to serve as a forum for industry, government, and academic research entities to exhibit some of the latest technological breakthroughs — in AI, biotech, energy, networks, compute, microelectronics, manufacturing, augmented reality, and beyond — and discuss their implications for U.S. and allied competitiveness.
