The FLC Spotlight is a new bi-weekly thematic newsletter highlighting issues of interest to the FLC and its partners.
This Week's Spotlight: Smarter T2 with Artificial Intelligence
As supercomputers continue to generate more data than the human brain can practically process, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are becoming research staples across a wide range of subject areas—from medicine to energy to transportation.
The growing interest in using AI to simplify processes and economize complex operations makes these innovations ideally positioned for technology transfer involving federal laboratories—something the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is encouraging.
"One of the agency's top priorities is to ensure that the United States maintains its leadership in innovation, especially in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI),” said USPTO Director Andrei Iancu.
This FLC Spotlight includes a sampling of federal technology transfer projects that illustrate the T2 potential of AI.
