The U.S. government is looking to integrate more AI capabilities across agencies. The next iteration of the FITARA scorecards will start asking federal CIOs what they are doing to introduce AI into their agencies, according to Rep. Will Hurd, R-TX, at a House Oversight and Government Reform committee hearing Wednesday. Artificial intelligence experts from big tech and academia recommended that the federal government promote STEM education and research funding, open data access and ensure a light regulatory touch to amplify the track of the nascent technology and facilitate its adoption at the federal level. While AI has many applications for cybersecurity, there are also security concerns regarding the technology that need to be addressed. Not enough focus is being devoted to thinking about how adversaries might manipulate AI systems and how, once deployed, these systems will learn and change and that process might be influenced by an outside actor, said Dr. Charles Isbell, senior associate dean at Georgia Tech's College of Computing, at the panel.
