Ep 126 - Assessing the Applications of Artificial Intelligence Across the Federal Landscape for Federal Agencies

Author: Government Technology Insider March 7, 2024 Duration: 6:40

Increasingly, nation-state sponsored cyberattacks are leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve their chances of successfully compromising an organization. But federal government agencies can also put the power of AI to work to bolster their cyber defenses. The advantage that AI brings to cybersecurity and defense is that it can analyze vast amounts of data, identify unusual patterns, predict potential security incidents, and enable cybersecurity teams to focus on verified threats instead of false positives.

In a recent podcast with Government Technology Insider, Jon S Kim, Vice President of Solutions and Services at Presidio Federal shared the potential applications of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity for federal agencies. Despite all the benefits it may bring, there are potential ethical issues when it comes to using AI. Federal cybersecurity leaders must consider algorithmic bias and the potential to unfairly target or discriminate against groups.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
