INFOGRAPHIC: How Makpar Addresses AI Challenges and Opportunities for Government
Held in late October in Washington, D.C., the AI 2030 Governance Forum brought together both government and industry leaders to address key challenges and opportunities around advancing artificial intelligence (AI) in government.
From a lack of AI understanding to the value of collaboration and data governance, the event highlighted what needs to be addressed to make AI for government a true reality. Alex Spithas, Director of Project Integration at Makpar, attended the event, and provided key insights that we summarized into the following infographic.
In addition to the insights above, following are key quotes from the AI 2030 Governance Forum speakers.
“It’s either, ‘AI is going to let you play golf six days a week’ or ‘AI is going destroy your family.’” - Brian Peretti, Chief Technology Officer, Department of Treasury.
“Organizations need to be trained on the legal issues and business ramifications to develop role-based policies. And not just decision-makers should be trained.” – James Gatto, Partner & AI Team Leader, Sheppard Mullin.
“A human must be involved to see what’s going on. Can you have an AI system that looks at another AI system? Sure, but you better have a human looking at it to be sure it’s not going off track.” - Brian Peretti, Chief Technology Officer, Department of Treasury.
“Use cases have to be clearly defined and communicated on why you’re trying to use AI.” - Brian Peretti, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Department of Treasury)
“We cannot look at AI the way we currently look at software and hardware. The ‘selling and patch, patch, patch’ approach is not beneficial when some of these things have impacts that can cause a lot of damage. The system must be right the first time and then rolled out.” - Brian Peretti, Chief Technology Officer, Department of Treasury.
“Only about two to three percent of data is structured in a way that AI can use it. What does that mean for the rest of the data? Who is going to use the time and resources to structure that data? These are questions that must be considered.” - Brian Peretti, Chief Technology Officer, Department of Treasury.
