Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Our perspective

The explosion of new data affects all of our domains from healthcare to national security. Across these domains, we’re helping our customers adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions that turn this data into new opportunities for insight and efficiency. Our deep understanding of our customers, their data, and their missions allows Leidos to deliver AI and ML solutions that provide real value immediately.

Reliable, resilient, and secure AI solutions

AI is improving many ways in which our industries operate, but this also presents new concerns about reliability, resilience, and security. AI and ML systems present new attack surfaces, and a broad set of potential vulnerabilities in these systems has already been discovered. Through R&D programs, Leidos is developing ways to apply strong cybersecurity paradigms to these vulnerabilities. In addition to developing strong security guarantees, we are creating ways to reduce mission-impacting biases, verify that systems are trained adequately for deployment, and ensure they cannot be fooled by bad data. AI and ML can and will be used to do great things, but they must be done smartly and carefully.

We look beyond the hype.

AI has been portrayed as a magic wand that will solve everything. In reality, the power of AI and ML technology comes from smart solutions to specific, data-intensive problems. Deployed correctly, AI and ML can be an incredibly effective tool to address those problems, but effective applications require looking beyond the hype and focusing on thoughtful and realistic problem solving.

AI will solve important problems.

At Leidos, we pride ourselves on creating solutions to technically challenging problems of global importance. For example, we defend our nation’s most critical cyber networks against attack, improve the safety and efficiency of our airspace, and discover new ways to fight cancer. Likewise, our goal is to use leading edge AI and ML technology to make the world safer, healthier, and more efficient.
