The Department of the Air Force CIO is committed to enabling access to secure and responsible use of #AI tools for all Guardians and Airmen. Today we are pleased to announce that Ask Sage has been added to the DAF AI Exchange following their DISA Provisional Authorization at Impact Level 5. This follows on the launch of the NIPRGPT experimental platform earlier this year and a growing list of additional tools available for access through the DAF AI Launch Point. ? "I am committed to laying the foundation for Guardians and Airmen to foster innovation and improve operational effectiveness across the DAF. Time back on mission is what we care about. All of this is made possible through partnerships. From our Generative AI roundtables to R&D initiatives, to alignment across industry, DoD and service CIOs, our partners are at the table with us, contributing to our shared mission." -Venice M.
