Jun. 14, 2023 — Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), a FORTUNE® 500 science and technology leader, today announced the successful deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) – the foundational technology for Generative AI – within the Leidos Health Group. This milestone is central to the Leidos Trusted GenAI Campaign. It also marks a significant advance in enhancing workflow efficiency and accuracy.
“Generative AI is going to revolutionize industries and Leidos is at the forefront of putting this powerful technology into action,” said Jim Carlini, Leidos Chief Technology Officer. “Years ago, we recognized the potential of the LLMs that power today’s Generative AI breakthroughs and began the work to unlock it. Today, we are thrilled to announce our successful deployment of LLMs in our Health business.”
With an AI legacy spanning nearly two decades, Leidos and its subsidiaries have built a remarkable track record in developing and implementing AI solutions. Through advanced machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, computer vision and predictive analytics, the company is guiding customers through this period of rapid development. As a responsible steward, Leidos is simultaneously ensuring its Trusted AI solutions are reliable, ethical and highly effective. This provides the assurances that enable customers to rapidly leverage AI capabilities in even the most sensitive environments.
The Leidos approach to Trusted AI brings decisive benefits. In our health application, we partner humans and machines to analyze complex information to assign beneficiaries to accurate medical specialties. By applying our ethical AI principles, we’re able to deliver more equitable outcomes by using AI than we could without it.
