Virtual Exploration of Generation AI (Artificial Intelligence) with Dr. Michael Balazs
Start Time: 19:00
Venue: ZOOM Link

Join Us June 2nd for a Unique View of “Generation AI – Preparing the Workforce for the AI Economy of the Future” 

The field of artificial intelligence (AI) moves so fast and impacts everyday life in more ways than most of us realize. Please join your RAC-MOAA colleagues for an enlightening Zoom Presentation on Wednesday, June 2nd, from 7 to 8 pm. Our guest speaker, Dr. Michael A. Balazs, will explore “Generation AI – preparing the workforce for the AI economy of the future”.  

Dr. Balazs serves as Chief Futurist for Autonomy for the services and Head of Charlottesville Operations at the MITRE Corporation. He is responsible for furthering autonomy’s impact on the mission by advancing autonomous technology, adoption, and trust within the services and combatant commands. He identifies and executes opportunities uniquely suited to MITRE’s role and strengths as a federally funded research and development center. These opportunities result in the consummation of both high-risk big bets, and subtle pressure points that drive mission impact. 

He also serves as one of MITRE’s small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS)/C-sUAS strategists managing a portfolio of sUAS Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) programs in support of the intelligence, special operations, and service communities. This work includes the development and deployment of the Nibbler, a customizable 3D printable drone, and the MITRE Challenge for Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems. Finally, he leads MITRE’s Generation AI program which aims to bring about the AI economy through exposure of all students, independent of their field of study, to AI before they enter the workforce. 

Dr. Balazs’s contributions have resulted in numerous awards and have been featured in the Economist, WIRED Magazine, Fortune, National Geographic’s Breakthroughs, SPIE Defense, Sensing, and Security Conference and the AUVSI Xponential conference.
