In this episode of Management Matters we host part 8 of the Academy-GovExec TV series on Artificial Intelligence featuring Academy Fellows, Jerry Mechling, Theresa Pardo, and Alan Shark, as well as Brenda Bannan, moderated by GovExec's George Jackson. Imagine the controversy some 40 years ago among engineering school faculty who expressed concern that the standard hand-held slide rule might be replaced by sophisticated hand-held calculators. In some schools and colleges, they were banned for use during exams or major university entrance tests. Today, we see similar discussions and debates with the advent of generative AI (GAI) and, in particular, the popular ChatGPT. And given the allure and capabilities of GAI, the issues are much more difficult, and the consequences are potentially far more serious. .Support the Podcast Today at:donate@napawash.org or 202-347-3190Music Credits: Sea Breeze by Vlad Gluschenko | https://soundcloud.com/vgl9Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.e
Amidst much talk about AI and its potential, its benefits, and how it will drive major change, there is also an universal recognition of the importance of security and cybersecurity issues. In a Biden Administration release on Advancing Responsible AI, the White House said “AI is one of the most powerful technologies of our time, with broad applications ... in order to seize the opportunities AI presents, we must first manage its risks.” An active debate is occurring on how AI will impact the delivery of citizen services, public safety, economic development, and national security.
