Business Wire
Nov. 6 event will connect public and private
sector leaders to discuss ethics and security requirements for
scaled federal AI adoption and deployment, building on framework of
new AI Executive Order
Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH), the largest provider of
AI-related services to the federal government, will host a timely
dialogue on “The Age of Principled AI” on Monday, Nov. 6, in
Washington, D.C., to further the discussion on protecting the
promise and ensuring the safe, secure and responsible development
of artificial intelligence (AI). The conversation follows the
recent release of President Biden’s landmark Executive Order on
Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.
“The executive order represents the most comprehensive action
taken by the federal government to set the national policy for AI
and brings coherence to this complex environment. With 200+ active
AI projects within the U.S. government, Booz Allen is working with
federal agencies to leverage the power of AI for national progress,
security, and prosperity, while ensuring it doesn’t encroach on
civil liberties or negatively impact cross-sections of society,”
said John Larson, executive vice president and leader of Booz
Allen’s AI practice. “When managed correctly, the promise of AI
outweighs the risks, and we look forward to helping our clients
assess and implement this new guidance.”
“The executive order's focus on actions around
cybersecurity, privacy, national security, innovation, and
competition will advance the quality and safety of AI development
in the United States. Achieving safer and more responsible AI
requires diverse perspectives that represent the broader population
that will shed light on potential risks and harms beyond any
obvious prediction. Additionally, incorporating these differing
perspectives will create dynamism we will see across the industry,
as well as private and public applications,” said Alison Smith,
Director of Generative AI at Booz Allen. “As AI leaders and
startups design systems to be used with or on behalf of the federal
government, they will need to get ahead of the safety measures and
start thinking about embedding them early to enable more confident,
secure, and risk-averse innovation moving forward.”
The discussion will bring together leading voices from
government and industry to explore Al ethics and security with a
specific focus on risk, responsibility, and federal use cases.
A media roundtable for invited press will follow.
