Don't miss this special Focus Event moderated by Sylvain Bruni at NTSA's I/ITSEC from 1:30-3:00pm on December 4th! The NATO SG-278 study on Cognitive Augmentation for Military Applications identified a series of challenges and opportunities related to the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of leveraging new forms of training and operational support. This topic is under-addressed and requires more depth and visibility in our community. This vast new field is actively being researched in several critical domains, such as healthcare, transportation, and public policy. Engaging with and hearing from those working at the forefront of ELSI will preview and inform future work that aligns with the needs of the I/ITSEC community, specifically as we seek to integrate training and readiness more closely and rapidly with artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies. This moderated panel will feature perspectives from scientists and practitioners in Government, industry, and non-profit research organizations. The purpose of this special event is (1) to raise awareness about challenges and opportunities related to ELSI in training and ops, (2) to build a network of interested practitioners and decision-makers across government and industry, and (3) to identify priority areas for training and simulation research.

Please join us in welcoming Stephanie Fussell to our team! Stephanie joins us as a scientist in our Training, Learning, and Readiness department. When we asked her why she chose to work at Aptima, she said "Aptimists brought me here: Working alongside Summer Rebensky and Shawn Turk at the GRILL. Meeting Isabella Perault at HFES. Getting to know people over trivia in Dayton. The passion for the research and the company itself was always clear. When Summer first asked if I would be interested in working with Aptima, I already knew the answer was 'yes' based on being around Aptimists and their work. Then I learned more about the culture, the values, and the goals of the company. And I still knew the answer was 'yes.' The things that make Aptima stand out, including the human-centered approach, use of interdisciplinary-expertise, and a commitment to accelerate learning while pushing innovation, all resonate with me. These things excite me. I am excited to grow with a company that has values and goals which align with my own." Stephanie embodies the collaborative spirit and innovative thinking that defines Aptima. We're excited for the journey ahead!
