                                                                                        GenAI Innovation Roundtable

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and the Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Office is hosting a series of roundtables with industry and academia to discuss Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).  These informative roundtables are for Market Research purposes only and DO NOT constitute or guarantee a subsequent contract award from the government.  Participation is completely voluntary. This is not an opportunity to sell products/services but to participate in meaningful discussions with the DAF CDAO concerning GenAI. 

The government is targeting a total of three (3) sessions with Small Businesses, Large Businesses, and Academia (one each).  The intent is to have no more than 10 businesses/schools attend at each focused session. 

Roundtable Purpose:

  1. Identification of strategies to effectively incorporate GenAI
  2. Informed awareness on how GenAI platforms can enhance operations
  3. Knowledge exchange and learning networks established with industry and academia

Topics:

  1. Everyday GenAI & Game-Changing GenAI
  2. Responsible GenAI
  3. Agile Approaches to GenAI Adoption 
  4. Training

Interested vendors, please submit answers to the questions below (2 pages max) plus a capabilities statement (2 page max) no later than the following dates:

  1. Large Businesses: May 2, 2024 submission due 1PM EST
  2. Small Businesses: May 9, 2024 submission due 1PM EST 
  3. Academia: May 21, 2024 submission due 1PM EST 

The POC for submissions is Theresa L. Terry, theresa.terry.1@us.af.mil, 571-256-0442.

The government will review the submissions and contact selected organizations to participate in its respective roundtable  group.

The following questions will guide written responses and verbal discussions:

  • Everyday GenAI & Game-Changing GenAI
    • Everyday GenAI is focused on productivity and Game-Changing GenAI is focused primarily on creativity. How can we leverage GenAI right now to improve intelligence, operational planning, administrative, business processes, etc? What GenAI will be disruptive and create new ways or new results? What metrics or success indicators should be used to evaluate the effectiveness of GenAI applications in these areas?
  • Responsible GenAI
    • Responsible AI is defined by the DoD as responsible, equitable, traceable, reliable, and governable. How does GenAI challenge those definitions? What policy recommendations and future directions should be considered for leveraging GenAI responsibly? What are the benefits and risks associated with GenAI? How is your organization managing these risks?
  • Agile Approaches to GenAI Adoption
    • Agile, user-focused, product-centric development is essential to achieving our goals because humans and machines will work together in the responsible, effective employment of GenAI-enabled capabilities. What are the best practices for adopting GenAI within an organization? Are there successes you can share from your experience with deploying GenAI capabilities? What challenges have organizations faced when scaling GenAI, and how were these overcome? What methodologies are most effective for designing GenAI systems tailored to specific operational needs?
  • Training
    • The Department’s ability to oversee and adopt GenAI capabilities depends on the strength of its workforce, and continued growth in technical skills. How can we empower Airmen and Guardians with the skills and competencies needed to utilize GenAI effectively? What foundational skills should be prioritized in GenAI training programs? What training will be most useful for non-technical users and consumers of GenAI?  How can training be designed to stay relevant in the fast-evolving field of GenAI? What partnerships or resources can be leveraged to enhance GenAI education and training?

Selected respondents will be notified at least two (2) business days in advance.  Each selected organization are allowed no more than one (1) attendees.
