## Resource

​​In a conversation recorded live at the White House Correspondents’ Weekend TGAIFriday Lunch , Navy CTO Justin Fanelli describes how he is harnessing AI to make our military smarter, safer, and ensure our war fighters keep their competitive edge. He also explains why the Pentagon is shedding “technical debt,” and moving at “flank speed” to outpace China. Booz Allen engineer Zane Price reveals how the Space Llama model–a collaboration between Meta and Booz Allen that was announced that day–for the first time gives astronauts direct access to information through a trusted, safe open source LLM.
