About This Data Online Course

The U.S. Department of Defense is making great strides to achieve its goal of evolving into an artificial intelligence-enabled enterprise to ensure decision advantage now and in the future.

Advancements in AI and analytics enable leaders to make “smarter” and faster decisions—from the boardroom to the battlefield.

These solutions must be powered by high-quality data to perform correctly and without bias to provide proper insights to aid in decision making.

Yes, data is the foundation of AI. For these technology solutions to work effectively, the data must be of the highest quality. The cost of poor data quality—from both financial and strategic standpoints—is immense.

The DoD has made data quality a top priority—as outlined in the 2023 DoD Data, Analytics, and AI Adoption Strategy. The DoD workforce—both military and civilian and contractor—must possess at least a fundamental understanding of the importance of data quality in support of mission requirements and back-office operations.
