Council Updates

AI + Privacy Three-Part Speaker Series

The FPC’s Technology and Innovation Committee has been coordinating with GSA’s AI Center of Excellence and AI Community of Practice to address privacy issues in the development of AI/ML applications and recently completed a three-part AI + Privacy presentation series. The purpose of this series was to bring together technologists and privacy professionals to discuss the AI development lifecycle. The series broke the AI lifecycle into three phases: Design, Develop, and Deploy. Each session discussed the technical requirements as well as the privacy issues to consider during each stage of development.

The presentations and materials for each session are available on OMB MAX.
