🌀 Big news! 🌩️ We've just released our forecast for the 2024 hurricane season, and it's shaking up the industry with unprecedented accuracy. Using our groundbreaking LRC methodology, we're predicting 14-19 named storms and several hotspots to watch, including the northeast Gulf Coast. With years of accurate predictions under our belt, we're ready to help businesses prepare for whatever Mother Nature throws our way. Weather 20/20 has had the most accurate hurricane season predictions as tracked by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. Two years ago, the forecasts from all other sources tracked called for a hyper active season, and Weather 20/20 predicted a below average hurricane season and the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) in 2022 was 95, below the average of 123. Weather 20/20 Prediction was 60-110, or below average. We are again lower than all other predictions being tracked once again. Learn more. Here is the link: https://lnkd.in/gMZE8qqf

Artificial intelligence is one of the emergent technologies the Department of Homeland Security is monitoring under its 2024-2025 Strategic Guidance and National Priorities for U.S. Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience plan, as AI and other advanced systems become part of the broader global threat vector to digital networks. Dated June 14 and released publicly on Thursday, the guidance focuses on efforts to improve the security and durability of the U.S.’s infrastructure and mitigate disruptions. In an increasingly digitized world, key societal systems, such as the electrical grid, water treatment facilities, transportation systems, health care facilities and more operate on an automated and digital level. As innovation continues to expand emerging systems like AI, DHS said it will focus on fortifying cyber components of critical infrastructure against AI-related risks. “We must continue to proactively address AI as a transformative and general-purpose technology and consider the implications of other emerging technologies on critical infrastructure,” the guidance reads. The guidance notes that AI systems are also capable of helping defend critical infrastructure operations and recommends that critical infrastructure operators and sector risk management agencies identify where AI technologies could be deployed internally to support cybersecurity efforts and threat detection –– while adhering to the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Risk Management Framework and other relevant DHS guidance. “While we must look to mitigate new risks, we must also recognize that new AI-enabled systems and other emerging technologies will also provide new tools to help mitigate threats to critical infrastructure,” the document reads.  https://lnkd.in/ddaXYfbF

Hey there, tech enthusiasts and St. Pete lovers! 🚀✨ I���m thrilled to share our journey and love affair with St. Pete Innovation District. When we talk about tech innovation, we often picture Silicon Valley or bustling metropolises. But guess what? The City of St. Petersburg is where the real magic happens for us at PVM, Inc. Not just because of the sunshine (though, who doesn’t love it?) or the fact that it is my hometown, but because this city, especially the Innovation District, has become a beacon of opportunity and collaboration that is hard to find elsewhere. Being in the heart of the Maritime and Defense Technology Hub means we’re surrounded by visionaries and changemakers every day. It’s where our mission of leveraging AI to tackle complex challenges really takes flight. And you know what makes it even more special? The sense of community. It’s not just about business; it’s about making a tangible impact right here, in our backyard. Our story began with a simple yet ambitious vision, fueled by my experiences and the passion to unlock data for good. Today, PVM stands as a testament to what belief, perseverance, and a ton community support can accomplish. From being recognized as a Palantir Technologies partner to receiving industry accolades, our growth has been phenomenal, but it’s the personal connections and local impact that truly define us - and service, in every sense of the word, is what PVM IT is all about. Serving our community, shaping the future with AI, and supporting organizations that keep our country safe and thriving. But what really excites me? It’s the potential. The potential to create, to innovate, and to inspire. We’re not just building technology; as a DoD-SkillBridge partner we’re building a future — diverse, inclusive, and bursting with possibilities. So, if you’re as passionate about AI, community, and making a difference as we are, give us a shout. The future is bright, and together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve. Join us in this exciting venture, and let’s make history, together. Here’s to many more years of innovation, growth, and community in the heart of St. Petersburg. Cheers! 🎉 For collaboration, inspiration, or just to chat about the future of tech, reach out anytime. Together, we’re just getting started. 🌟 Expect the best, Pat

The purpose of this request for information (RFI) is to identify technologies from private industry, Government research and development (R&D) organizations, and academia for inclusion in the annual Technology Innovation Discovery Event (TIDE) 2024. The DoD and U.S. interagency partners use TIDE to identify and influence the state-of-play of innovative technologies from a broad spectrum of capability areas, which informs decision-making for enhancing future strategic and operational capabilities. #defenseinnovation #technologyinnovation United States Department of Defense | Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering | DoD SBIR/STTR Program
