The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is seeking industry collaboration to advance its multi-cloud environment for artificial intelligence initiatives.

Juliane Gallina, the Deputy Director for Digital Innovation at the CIA, revealed that the agency is exploring the use of generative AI to streamline its operations in human-machine teaming.

“We need all variations of the cloud, everything from hybrid cloud, private cloud. We may also still continue to need on-premise compute for all of these things, for the full spectrum of our performance. We need multi-cloud to really become fully mature with generative AI to use large language models or diffusion models to really optimize our performance,” Gallina reportedly said while speaking at the Billington CyberSecurity Summit in Washington.
