How Edge AI Can Strengthen Federal Missions, Security

Jeff Malec, Principal Technologist, Lifecycle Planning, HP

Artificial intelligence at the edge is bringing advanced capabilities closer to where missions happen. By processing data locally rather than relying exclusively on centralized cloud environments, agencies can improve performance, strengthen security and reduce infrastructure costs.

HP Principal Technologist for Lifecycle Planning Jeff Malec discussed at the Federal Cloud & Data Forum how agencies can approach edge AI to address challenges around sensitive data, cloud dependency and scalability. He also discussed opportunities to move beyond AI pilots, deliver measurable mission outcomes and incorporate edge computing into long-term federal AI strategies.
