Information Innovation Office

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Information Innovation Office (I2O) is one of the seven technical offices within

data analytics, and human-machine symbiosis.[2][3]

Organization

The current I2O office director is John Launchbury, who joined DARPA as program manager in 2014 and was named director in 2015.[4] Brian Pierce is the deputy director.[5]

Programs

DARPA programs continually start and stop depending on national security needs and research results, and the high-turnover rate of program managers.[6] Some programs within I2O's research areas are:

  • Assured Autonomy (AA): Creation of technology for continual assurance of Learning-Enabled Cyber-Physical Systems.
  • Building Resource Adaptive Software Systems (BRASS): Creation of long-lived, survivable software systems that adapt to changing conditions on their own.[7]
  • Cleanslate design of Resilient, Adaptive, Secure Hosts (CRASH): Development of software techniques that allow a computer system to defend itself from hacks.[8]
  • Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC)
  • Memex: Software that advances online search capabilities to extend into the deep web, the dark web, and nontraditional or multimedia content.
  • Broad Operational Language Translation (BOLT): A program launched in 2011 to create automated translation and linguistic analysis.[9]
  • Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI): Create Artificial intelligence that can explain the decisions it makes.[10]
  • Plan X
