GTSC's FITGovDATA: Accelerating Mission AI & Quantum

Description

Government possesses extraordinary volumes of information, yet much of it remains fragmented across legacy systems, inconsistent standards, multiple ownership structures, security classifications, and aging technology. The challenge is no longer whether agencies will adopt AI and quantum—it is how quickly they can build the trusted, interoperable, and mission-ready data environment required to make these technologies successful. FITGovData will explore all aspects of this: barriers, governance, acquisition, safety, integration and of course, speed.
