Talking Ship: Episode Seven

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:07]Okay, so time to talk to me.

[00:00:09]What about this AI competition? Colby, let me tell you. About a month ago, I put out a challenge to the production workforce.

[00:00:16]I'm so impressed. The challenge was this, who can come up with the best use of AI to go make their job easier and to actually impact a mission in a good way.

[00:00:27]You know what? Who better to hear from than the winners themselves? John, let's hear from you.

[00:00:32]Hello there. I'm John Carson and I'm here to tell you about how I use AI for the shipyard. I use AI to write a lot of technical documents and statements of works and independent government estimates. And I can tell you right now it saves me about 95% of my man hours that I used to have to spend expending writing these documents that I can just kind of plug [music] into AI and AI generates what I need. So, if you're not using AI uh in the shipyard, you're definitely behind the power curve.

[00:01:03]95% pass rate for getting your statement of work issued through contracting? That is really, really fast. That's some good right there. Sure is. We're not done yet.

[00:01:14]Monique, let's hear from you.

[00:01:16]Hi, I'm Reese. [music] I'm from 900 production department. I created a standard operating procedure agent with AI >> [music] >> that will help us reduce creating and revising SOPs from [music] weeks to hours. Not only that, but it will also align a workbook that will step-by-step, play-by-play the entire process for [music] waterfront workers.

[00:01:39]That's a game-changer for the mechanics.

[00:01:41]>> Oh man, I can't wait to see the mechanics get a hold of this one. We're not done yet. I got one more. Steven, let's hear from you.

[00:01:49]Hi, I'm Steven Campbell from code 900 production. I created a three agent AI team to perform TLSs. This allows us to do uh timeline establishment [music] prior to a TLS and saves us days allowing us to get right to the heart of the matter. Man, TLS is going to never be the same again. They sure won't. This is a good ship right there.

[00:02:09]>> [laughter] >> That's it.

[00:02:15]>> [music]
