ChatGPT has overwhelmed the headlines in the past few months. It has brought the concept of artificial intelligence to the forefront of many discussions.
Well, Primer Technologies has been deeply involved in artificial intelligence since its inception seven years ago. It did not start with creating a bot for a site selling shoes, it got its start from In-Q-Tel and has a laser focus on helping the defense community apply technology to real-world problems.
The company has deep relationships in the defense community and understands the need of applying natural language processing to the warfighter’s needs.
"And that's essentially what we're building is trust with our customers in the government. And I think you build trust by delivering capabilities that are extremely reliable, and at the end of the day, help people do their jobs better"
During today’s interview, Mark Brunner from Primer set up the discussion by talking about innovation from Silicon Valley and the requirements of the hardnosed military community. Rather than walking away from the potential benefits of technical innovation, Primer sees itself as an intermediary with the skill set to be able to bridge the gap between real-world requirements and the software community.
One of the key elements that is glossed over is the need for ethical application of artificial intelligence. This means understanding how large libraries are assembled and then, at the output end, knowing when to assist the data analysis with human values.
The military knows it must adapt to a rapidly changing world, Primer can broker relationships and see value where others cannot.
