About JAIC DRAID

The solutions and services addressed by the DRAID vehicle span the full set needed to prepare “AI ready” data, from data ingestion right up to before AI model training begins. While many of these services are the core tasks in the AI data preparation process—including data ingestion, feature engineering, and labeling—the JAIC has shaped the DRAID vehicle to also include additional services that will become, and are already becoming, areas of critical interest to the DoD.

These forward-looking areas include topics such as AI security, synthetic data generation, and data representativeness. These areas are critical to the DoD’s success in setting the standard for world-class AI military systems, including putting the DoD AI Ethical Principles into practice. AI security must be accounted for early in the process to ensure the data used to train AI systems has not been manipulated or poisoned in a way that will compromise AI system performance once the system is fielded. Synthetic data generation provides alternatives to having to collect, prepare, and label significant amounts of data, promising to substantially accelerate the development process. Checking for data representativeness, such as data bias or excluded entities, both serves to instantiate the DoD AI Ethical Principles as well as ensuring optimal system performance once the AI system is in the hands of the warfighter.
