About this Webinar:

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, from the way we work to the way we interact with machines. Once AI is able to utilize the power of quantum computing, the results—both good and bad—will be immeasurable. As AI becomes more sophisticated and quantum computers become more readily available, so too do the potential security risks.
This session will discuss the critical issues at the intersection of Quantum, AI and security. The panelists will explore:

Countering malicious use of AI systems and quantum computers by actors with ill intentions, such as criminals, terrorists, or hostile states.
Adversarial attacks on AI, such as attempts to fool or manipulate AI systems by exploiting their vulnerabilities or limitations.
Protection of the massive amounts of data used by AI systems to learn and improve their performance.
Using AI to enhance cybersecurity, such as preventing cyberattacks, optimizing security processes, and improving security resilience.
Deploying quantum-resistant security to protect data at the heart of AI

Implementing AI in the Government
As federal agencies advance AI innovation, addressing challenges like algorithmic bias is critical to building trustworthy systems. Bias in AI can stem from datasets, associations, interactions, automation, and confirmation, potentially affecting outcomes and decisions. For successful adoption, agencies must implement robust policies, practices, and processes to create and deploy AI systems that are accurate, efficient, and free from harmful biases.
Join this session to hear from federal leaders on how they establish standards and guidance to mitigate risks, develop reliable AI solutions, and maintain the integrity of curated data sets.
