Experts discuss the motivations behind a recent DARPA competition

For this episode of the Voices from DARPA podcast, we talk with DARPA program manager Joshua Elliott, and Graham Lederer, research geologist at the U.S. Geological Survey about a recent DARPA competition geared at automating elements of the U.S. Geological Survey's critical mineral assessment workflow.

The experts discuss the motivations behind the competition, plans for next steps on implementing the resulting solutions, and the potential artificial intelligence tools can have on the U.S. supply chain. Members from the first place teams from each of the sub-challenges also discuss their winning solutions.
