Virginia Senator Mark Warner recognizes the worth of artificial intelligence (AI) but articulates concerns about possible adverse effects on federal programs, electoral processes, and financial markets without appropriate controls in place.
Detroit-based institute, LIFT, has initiated a project led by aerospace and defense company, RTX, aimed at developing a tool to model the emergence of cracks and damage within tantalum-coated gun barrels. This would enable improved life predictions. The project, termed “Life Prediction of Tantalum-Coated Gun Barrels Under Fast Thermal Transient Conditions”, is one of six selected for funding under the LIFT Ecosystem Accelerator Program.
