The Road to Making AI Real: A Year in Review & the Future of Federal AI
It has been one year since the issuance of the Executive Order on AI, and the landscape continues to evolve rapidly. Federal agencies have been hard at work gaining mission-oriented outcomes from pilots, while trying to identify and navigate through the challenges of operationalizing AI at scale.
For many departments, the leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) may seem like a bridge too far. Even those with well-resourced data systems might find it challenging to imagine the practical potential of AI. This webinar will explore critical aspects, including debunking myths, identifying operational issues and risks, and culture change required to bring ‘AI to life’. In addition to the technical challenges, the discussion will also delve into governance, policy, and culture change required to be effective in this transformative journey.
The discussion will include real world use cases and look ahead at the future of AI adoption within federal departments, emphasizing strategic integration into mission outcomes, such as enhanced decision-making and improved operational efficiency.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry provide a comprehensive overview of AI’s transformative journey across the federal landscape – where it started, where it is now, and where it is going.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine recent examples of AI pilot programs established at several agencies, each with its own unique mission, resources, and objectives
- Outline the risk factors and steps to take to mitigate them
- Review the elements of AI governance, both those outlined by federal policy and those the industry identifies as best practice
