Facing the Challenges Artificial Intelligence Poses

It is hard to think of a technology that has taken over the IT ecosystem faster than artificial intelligence (AI). OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, and yet it already has evolved so much that it bears little resemblance to v .0. The federal government has been moving quickly by its standards to address AI’s challenges and capabilities, including a Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, an artificial intelligence (AI) Risk Management Framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a National AI Research and Development Strategic Plan created by the White Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Executive Order 14110 on the “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of AI.” So have the European Union, China, and several other countries. But all of these concern policies and regulations. What agencies are looking for is help addressing their boots-on-the-ground challenges, such as the lack of specialized talent, where they should invest their limited R&D funds, meeting the lofty standards of the artificial intelligence (AI) bill of rights – or even how their own data assets are gathered, organized, and used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
