Understanding the Many Facets of Artificial Intelligence
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has come about so quickly, new tools and techniques continue to expand even as many agencies are still trying to understand use cases, vocabularies, and risk scenarios of implementing an AI solution.
Already a search for “hot topics in AI” turns up a daunting list – everything from generative AI to AI analytics, machine learning to natural language processing, along with the impact of AI on specific fields, such as healthcare and customer service.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the distinction between ethical AI and responsible AI and the connections between them
- Identify AI trends in your agency’s field and how it is being applied
- Review existing AI tools and assess their suitability for your agency’s needs

Session 2: Bridging the Gap Between AI Analytics & Actionable Decisions
The value proposition of AI is that it can ingest massive amounts of data and generate new insights. In many cases, being able to present visual forms such as graphs and models can aid decision-makers understand the potential significance of those insights.
This panel will discuss the role of AI in improving data management, how to integrate AI-driven analytics, and the use of visual representations.

Session 3: Using AI - Keep the Tools & Add Open Source Information
Many agencies with research or technological responsibilities have invested in tools to give their scientists the ability to manage their data and seek answers to tough questions. Combining AI with open source software allows researchers to keep using tools they already have while adding to their capabilities.
Our expert panel discusses the nexus of these three - tools, open source, ad AI - and how they combine to create even bigger opportunities for users.
