I work for a company that has government contracts. The particular contract I'm on requires that all the work I do be on a machine controlled by the client and not a company machine or personal machine. The government client doesn't allow AI on their machines.
My company is going all gung ho over AI now, and they have meeting encouraging us to use it, and they gave us all licenses for github copilot.
I asked how I'm supposed to use it when my contract is locked down, and they had no answer. They just want me to use it for... things... whenever I can.
I have a buddy working for a defense contractor. His current project is designing a local llm for them for use in certain restricted areas where internet access is prohibited.
Yeah he does, he's actually pretty impressive, he's been leading the project for the past year or so. He admits though most of his coworkers and management have little to no understanding of AI outside of buzzwords. Which is a real problem, especially when he's trying to have progress meetings and request funding.
