The Chief Digital and AI Office (CDAO) was created to lead the strategy and policy on data, analytics, and AI adoption across the Department of Defense. To enable that vision, the Department must achieve new ways to scale and standardize delivery under a global strategy while enabling decentralized workflows that capture the wealth of data and domain expertise.
CDAO’s strategy and goals are aligned with data mesh principles. This alignment starts with providing enterprise-level infrastructure and services to advance the adoption of data, analytics, and AI, creating the self-service data infrastructure as a platform. And it continues through implementing policy for federated computational governance centered around decentralizing data ownership to become domain-oriented but enforcing the quality and trustworthiness of data. CDAO seeks to expand and make enterprise data more accessible through providing data as a product and leveraging a federated data catalog to designate authoritative data and common data models. This results in domain-oriented, decentralized data ownership to empower the business domains across the Department to increase mission and business impact that result in significant cost savings, saving lives, and data serving as a “public good.”
Please join us in our session as we discuss how the CDAO leverages modern, innovative implementations that accelerate the delivery of data and AI throughout one of the largest distributed organizations in the world; the Department of Defense. We will walk through how this enables delivery in various Department of Defense use cases.
