AI for Government Summit: Taking the Lead in a New Era

No matter how quickly technology has changed over the past few decades, nothing matches the speed with which AI has begun to transform how agencies operate. In response to the changing landscape, in October 2023, the Biden administration released two frameworks, the Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence and the Office of Science and Technology Policy’s Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.

Join us for this in-person summit as thought leaders from government and industry share how these frameworks are being implemented at federal agencies.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the basic terms used in AI technology, such as generative AI, deep learning, bias, and neural network
• Outline the impact of AI on data center and cloud infrastructures
• Review the steps to shift current policies and practices into alignment with the requirements of AI implementations
• Delineate metrics that can measure efficiency improvements and cybersecurity requirements
• Identify the ways that AI can strengthen security, including threat detection and prevention, real-time monitoring, and predictive analysis
• Learn about existing use cases in federal agencies and the lessons learned to date
