Artificial Intelligence Integrator (Focus Wargaming)
Jobs, Norfolk, Virginia, United States, 23500
Job DescriptionWorking Location: Norfolk, VA, USAAuthorization to access highly sensitive information is requiredLanguage: High proficiency level in English languageBACKGROUND:
Data Exploitation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are essential elements of NATO's digital transformation, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency. These technologies are crucial for building a more adaptive and responsive NATO, ready to meet the challenges of Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) and a rapidly evolving security landscape. As NATO's command dedicated to future warfare, SACT leads efforts to explore, develop, and integrate latest technologies into military capabilities to transform the Alliance.
NATO has recognized wargaming as a critical enabler for future warfare development. It is essential for planning and decision-making, simulating complex military scenarios to provide strategic, operational, and tactical insights. Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is delivering the wargaming capability for NATO, and it already employs wargaming to understand military challenges and explore new technologies and strategies. ACT aims at refining NATO's understanding and use of wargaming, specifically by integrating AI thus enhancing its capabilities and accelerating AI adoption.
The AI Integrator will be part of the Data Science and AI Team, ACT's new cross-functional and cross-directorate hub for data science, data exploitation and Artificial Intelligence to facilitate collaboration, provide access to resources and expertise, ensuring efficient use of technologies, and seamless integration digital transformation and Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capability development efforts.
