Grappling with AI risk in federal agencies
Artificial intelligence is rapidly spreading as its capabilities mature and organizations find innovative uses for it. It’s important to understand that AI comes in different forms, and carries with some unique risks. While those risks are manageable, agencies must be aware and ready to mitigate them.
Moreover, AI isn’t a solution for everything. Success requires choosing use cases that are amenable to AI assistance—and knowing which ones are not.
In this lively and information discussion, former federal CTO Pete Tseronis and CGI Director Josh Sonnier unpack the nuances of AI and its use cases.
