AI in Government Contracting
To future-proof their organizations, contracting leaders are looking at numerous data science technologies to turn contracts into contract intelligence. This event will teach beginner and intermediate students of artificial intelligence and the many data science techniques that are used today. Then, we will look at the NCMA Contract Management Standard (CMS), and identify activities in the pre-award, award, and post-award cycles that can benefit from AI techniques.
