The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) throughout the federal government has rapidly grown in the past few years, and so has the awareness of ethical issues associated with this new technology. AI systems can mimic or amplify human biases, can put human lives at risk, and can present new vulnerabilities to cyber-attacks. As is the case with many developing technologies in the past, human users have raised questions about the mistrust of these...

Agencies are improving their cybersecurity posture to some degree, particularly as they develop better basic cyber hygiene and modernize their legacy systems. At the same time, bad actors are getting better at finding new ways to attack and access federal IT systems. On top of all this, agencies now face new challenges presented by the coronavirus, like securing a distributed workforce. This SNG Live Virtual session will bring together federal...

An event co-presented by ATARC and NASA with panels focusing on the following conversations: -The Future of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning -Moving Toward Model-Based Everything -Process Transformation (PTx) -The Importance of Culture & Workforce -Data -Collaboration

This webcast illustrated where machine learning applications can be attacked, the means for carrying out the attack and some mitigations that can be employed. The elements in building and deploying a machine learning application are reviewed, considering both data and processes. The impact of attacks on each element is considered in turn. Special attention is given to transfer learning, a popular way to construct quickly a machine learning app...

An information sharing event focused on leveraging and accelerating the use of data analytics technologies to navigate the present and post-pandemic future. Subject matter experts explore successfully implemented core data practices as evidenced in specific use cases. Thought leaders imagine the “art of the possible” in expanding on data analytics applications and benefits internal to the federal government and for improved public...

Today’s AI solutions perform increasingly complex tasks that can enhance government’s mission; from predictive maintenance to language translation to improving farming and expediting disaster response. While the magnitude of impact AI can have on agencies is significant, there are many roadblocks to adoption and understanding optimal scenarios and how to best leverage data to fuel these solutions. To learn more about the impact of...

The Public Sector Coffee Hour series is a bi-weekly videocast featuring luminaries from technology, society and the world of STEM. Topics for discussion will include governmental and societal impacts of technology, open source in Sci/Tech/Med., as well as the role of technology and work/life balance. Debora Berebichez is the first Mexican woman to graduate from Stanford University with a PhD in physics, and has taken an acute focus on Data sci...

September 29th-30th, 2020 | Mary M. Gates Learning Center, Alexandria, VA The 2020 Autonomous Capabilities for DoD Summit will provide a ‘town-hall’ style forum to discuss the advanced capabilities that AI-enabled autonomous systems and machine learning provide to the Warfighter in the battlespace, and how these emerging technologies are bolstering current and future DoD efforts to achieve mission impact at scale. The Summit will f...
