Register for the ATARC emerging technology virtual summit. ATARC is doing great work, and bringing together both government and industry. I will be attending this event all day, and I'm really looking forward to it.
I will be attending the artificial intelligence & data analytics conference hosted by ATARC and MITRE at the Marriott Metro Center on October 24th.
Register for the one-day educational event and explore Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics….arrive at 7:30AM for networking, and stay for the evening reception.

9AM Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a new, innovative approach for solving challenging problems that we encounter in practice, and as an enabler of disruptive innovations and smarter world. AI’s renaissance is driven by recent complementary developments, including major advances in the AI arena, realistic expectations, and recent success in its applications. AI is also raising some major concerns, real and perceived. Nevertheless, AI is trending to become a new normal and is increasingly being adopted in many applications despite its concerns and limitations. This panel will examine the new realities of AI in the federal space.
10:30AM Ask the CIO Live with Jason Miller – Bridging the Data Analytics Gap
As a result of the Open, Public, Electronic and Necessary, (OPEN) Government Data Act that became law, Chief Data Officers (CDOs) are now mandated. How can CDOs bridge the gap between other agencies and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regarding best practices on how to use agency data?
1:45 PM Mitre Afternoon Breakout Sessions
Collaboration Session 1: Human-Centered Design Patterns for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
This collaboration session will examine the use of ML in the information extraction process and how organizations use high quality/semantic data to drive ML and improve the way in which they derive reasoning from data
Collaboration Session 2: Blockchain-managed Data
Applications using blockchain and related trends showing promise for government use. Among these blockchain topics, Identity and Blockchain (Specifically Self-Sovereign identity for returning data ownership to data subjects); applications of blockchain for global customs tracking. (such as guaranteeing customs enforcement, tracking sensitive materials, or even tracking immigrants and refugees from various countries); blockchain for cryptocurrency (which we understand the Treasury is hoping to use for improved grants payment tracking and management)
Collaboration Session 3: AI-Assisted Healthcare and Health-Related Data: Challenges and Roadblocks
Emphasis would be on the societal and technical limitations of artificial intelligence in systems and applications. We anticipate discussion of data interoperability, PII, etc.; evolution of research, commercial products and applications involving DNA, and other personal data commercialization (per Bruce Schneier 2015 and Shoshana Zuboff’s 2019 book on Surveillance Capitalism). Further topics include impacts and implications for government use or protections of personal data including biometrics, facial recognition, the use of DNA and ‘genetic genealogy’ as evidence in legal proceedings
Join the ATARC Cloud & & Infrastructure Working Group
This free ½ day event launches the project teams for the ATARC Cloud Working Group. This is a technical working group of government, academia and private industry thought leaders collaborating on topics of interest to the Federal cloud & infrastructure community. The group’s goal is to provide the Federal Government with recommendations for methods to increase efficiency and reduce cost using cloud smart and cutting-edge infrastructure solutions.
USDA Jefferson Auditorium
1400 Independence Ave SW #5071, Washington, DC 20250 United States
This educational, one-day symposium will examine the cloud tools and techniques being used by the Federal Government to provide agencies with greater efficiency and cost savings.
The morning session will feature speakers and panels with government thought leaders, while the afternoon includes the MITRE-ATARC Cloud Collaboration Symposium, where government, academic and industry subject matter experts will examine cloud and data center challenge topics.
