S&T is exploring the possibilities of using artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the homeland’s cybersecurity posture.
Host Brittany Greco has a fascinating discussion with Emily Saulsgiver, Deputy Director of S&T’s International Cooperative Programs Office (ICPO), which cultivates relationships with the partners that we need to advance science and technology around the world. ICPO identifies areas of mutual interest for cooperation, fosters scientific exchanges, and works with global counterparts to address shared challenges and spark innovation.
S&T Senior Advisor for Advanced Computing Dr. Amy Henninger and host Brittany Greco get us up to speed on the Directorate’s work to address adversarial artificial intelligence (AI), a new (and potent) threat that is part of the emerging AI revolution in computing. She discusses how it can appear similar to cyberattacks yet is fundamentally different.
DHS S&T partnered with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) on the Emergency Management of Tomorrow Research (EMOTR) program. PNNL hosted three tabletop exercises (TTX) to develop concepts for the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) of the Future and provide recommendations to assist DHS S&T in future decision-making with regards to research and development (R&D) and investments toward establishing a framework for a national, coordinated approach to EM.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) partnered with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to identify current emergency management research, elicit capability needs from practitioners, and identify where technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), may benefit the future of emergency management and emergency operations centers.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) partnered with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to conduct research on strengthening and reimagining the future emergency response structure.
