Andrew Moore, former director of artificial intelligence at Google’s cloud business, has joined U.S. Central Command to provide guidance on applying AI, robotics, cloud computing and data analytics to the CENTCOM mission in multiple regions.
Moore became the command’s first adviser on these technology areas and will share his expertise with its innovation task forces, CENTCOM said Wednesday.
He spent more than eight years with Google after working as a professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1993 to 2006.
The AI/machine learning specialist then returned to CMU in 2014 as dean of the university’s computer science school.
“I love the math and creativity of advanced technology development, but like so many of my friends in the AI industry, I want to see that theory being applied where it really makes a positive difference and CENTCOM’s mission is seriously inspiring to me,” Moore noted.
