Under Bajraktari’s leadership, NSCAI accomplished its mission on March 1st, 2021, when it realized its final report and recommendations on AI and its uses related to the Federal Government and U.S. military. The report elucidated the technology and principles behind AI applications. It also made important recommendations to lawmakers on optimizing AI and enhancing national security capabilities with cutting-edge technology.
