Homeland Security in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
RSA Conference 2024 · South Stage Keynote
This talk features an insightful discussion between Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and Rumman Chowdhury, a member of the newly formed DHS AI Advisory Board, on the profound implications of artificial intelligence for national security. The conversation, held at RSAC 2024, delves into the dual-use nature of AI—its immense potential for both advancing critical missions and posing significant threats to national infrastructure and civil liberties. Secretary Mayorkas articulates the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) strategic approach to harnessing AI responsibly, defending against its malicious use, and fostering a nimble, dynamic government posture in this rapidly evolving technological landscape.
