Transform X 2022

Dr. Dan Patt, former @DARPAtv Deputy Director and a strategist at the artificial intelligence company STR, will talk with @Scale AI  Head of Federal, Mark Valentine, about how the public and private sectors can better work together to maximize investments for national security. The scale, power, and efficiency of consumer products like mobile phones and their networks are improving defense capabilities, and the most exciting innovations are still to come. Dr. Patt will explore several ideas like reducing the number of Department of Defense regulations to allow it to adopt enterprise AI faster, leveraging the “virtuous cycle” of consumer-oriented competition and product development, and funding “dual-use” development across both the commercial and defense sectors. Dr. Patt has worked across the intersection of humanity and automation. As an aerospace engineer, he supported development of unmanned systems, including the A160 Hummingbird, and at DARPA led the development of attritable unmanned vehicles, and launched development of certifiable reduced-crew transport aircraft operations. As an entrepreneur, he was co-founder of Vecna Robotics, and is now Chief Strategy Officer at STR.
