Description
Data literacy is a critical component in the digital age for enabling the workforce to harness data's power. The Department of Veterans Affairs is leveraging a new automated training platform called the All Services Personnel and Institutional Readiness Engine (ASPIRE) to improve competencies for emerging technologies, especially AI and cyber.

Anthony Boese from VA's National Artificial Intelligence Institute (NAII), whose educational roots are in philosophy, understands the power of AI and the urgent need to get a handle on data. He explains the program's development, progress and next steps for the federal community.
