The story of how the Federal government is grappling with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies – and adopting policies that will define their use for years to come – is being written right now. Come join us on Nov. 15 in Washington, D.C., to become part of that vital process at the Red Hat Government Symposium 2023: Intelligence Unleashed.
Here are the big developments in play in the Federal government’s AI debate right now:
President’s Biden’s sweeping artificial intelligence executive order issued on Oct. 30, which focuses on seizing the promise and managing the risks of the emerging technology;
The order is directing new standards for AI in eight categories including: safety and security; privacy; equity and civil rights; supporting consumers and workers; innovation and competition; American leadership; and government use of AI;
The AI Order gives major policy marching orders to no less than seven Federal agencies for specific follow-up work in each of those areas, and sets them on a path to produce changes at the Federal level over the next several months;
The Office of Management and Budget just last week released its AI guidance for Federal civilian agencies, including mandates for agencies to appoint Chief AI Officers, and to adopt a lengthy list of safeguards for agencies to follow while developing applications of AI tech.
Major action is brewing in Congress to answer President Biden’s call for legislation to support the AI Order and related data privacy legislation;
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D.-N.Y., says consensus is building in Congress around the idea that Federal government investment in the AI arena needs to come in at a minimum of $32 billion; and
Massive Federal agencies like the Defense Department (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are already running large-scale AI development and technology organizations that serve as bellwethers for the rest of government.
Here’s the opportunity on Nov. 15 at the Red Hat Government Symposium 2023: join government and private sector experts who are working this ongoing AI development journey in real time, and claim your seat at the table in the larger process.
