Track: Stay Informed about Issues and Trends Impacting the Profession (Sponsored by Pennoni)

We will share the viewpoints of industry, academic, and government experts discussing the use of artificial intelligence in critical infrastructure systems and how it can be used and misused. They also address issues of public confidence in such systems and many more important questions. The U.S. Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) defines 16 critical infrastructure sectors: chemical, commercial facilities, communications, critical manufacturing, dams, defense, industrial base, emergency services, energy, financial services, food and agriculture, government facilities, health care and public health, information technology, nuclear reactors, transportation systems, and water and wastewater systems. Together, these sectors make up the set of “critical systems.” What happens when artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are incorporated in such systems? How do we ensure the safety of the public and critical infrastructure? How can we ensure the public that these systems will be safe?
