Massachusetts Guardsman Advances AI Innovation Through Fellowship

Massachusetts National Guard Senior Airman Matthew Wright completed a five‑month MIT AI fellowship, part of the Department of the Air Force Artificial Intelligence Accelerator. Selected from fewer than 3% of applicants, he was the first junior enlisted Airman to join the program, contributing to a multi‑foundational model ISR project and a capstone on synthetic network data generation. His work leveraged few‑shot computer‑vision models and large language models to enhance cyber analyst training. Wright now returns to the 102nd Intelligence Wing to lead responsible AI implementation and mentor peers.
