The maturity and capability of artificial intelligence (AI) applications has skyrocketed in the last several years with new advances in generative AI, large language models, autonomous agents, computer vision, dynamic interfaces, and adaptive training. These new capabilities have massive implications for the broad capabilities of the DoD's training tools and systems into which they are being integrated. They have similarly massive implications for how humans use these augmented tools and capabilities, and how the roles, needs, limitations, and risks assumed by human users, operators, trainees, and stakeholders may change as a result.

Human systems integration (HSI) technical warrant holders for DoD programs and program offices are expected to keep program managers and leadership informed about the opportunities, opportunity costs, and risks associated with resource allocation and design decisions affecting human users and stakeholders. The challenges and opportunities before training stakeholders are becoming more complex by the day.

This special event will bring together experts in AI, human factors, and training design and implementation for a discussion of how the challenges faced by training acquisition programs are changing with the maturation of AI, and how and where stakeholders and practitioners can incorporate understanding of those challenges and help manage their impacts on programs, learners, instructors, decision-makers, and stakeholders.

Questions to be explored here include what developers and acquisition stakeholders should know, and how these capabilities will be accommodated in the near and more distant term.
