Latent AI Latest Booz Allen Investment

National Defense drives innovation. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) deliver the tactical edge – at the edge – to ensure mission completion. The value of situational awareness cannot be underscored enough.  With a growing role in defense, AI and ML are garnering growing attention – and investment.

Booz Allen Hamilton announced new investment in Latent AI, Inc., a provider of software tools offering adaptive AI and ML at the edge.

“This investment enhances the ability of both Latent AI and Booz Allen to meet the evolving needs of clients, particularly in deploying algorithms to the edge to prevail in the future digital battlefield,” said Brian MacCarthy, Booz Allen vice president and founder of the firm’s Tech Scouting group

Central to the investment is the Latent AI Efficient Inference Platform (LEIP). LEIP is a modular, fully integrated edge AI development platform that optimizes compute, energy consumption and memory allocation without needing to adjust model infrastructure or edge system design. Agnostic of hardware, architecture, operating system and framework, the platform accelerates development of scalable and adaptable AI applications at the tactical edge.

MacCarthy continued “Sitting at the intersection of technology and mission, Booz Allen can help dual-use emerging tech companies connect the most innovative, advanced solutions to government’s critical mission requirements.”

Adaptive AI will usher in a new era of algorithmic warfare at the edge, and a more robust, more agile IoT.  Join us at IoT Evolution Expo where we will unpack the advance of AI and ML at the edge, and take a peak behind the curtain at our connected future.
