Aptima Puerto Rico’s Post

We read. You read. We all read about... GenAI? We're intrigued by this recent GovTech article, which highlights how generative AI (genAI) could transform government operations in 2025. From streamlining administrative tasks to enhancing public engagement and decision making, these advancements could reshape everything from training simulations to real-time policy analysis. We're continuing to put a lot of effort into exploring how genAI can improve mission readiness and support human-centered decision making in critical government operations. But, at the end of the day, nothing beats the power of human brains. So, human brains: Which potential application of generative AI do you think could have the biggest impact on government operations over the next five years? What challenges should we focus on solving first? Drop your thoughts below—let's get talking! #Aptima #HumanCenteredEngineering #GenerativeAI #GovTech #TalkToUsTuesday https://lnkd.in/dyiKdaEz

Chris Hein, Director of Engineering for Google Public Sector, makes his predictions for adoption and application of Generative AI by Governments in the coming year... https://lnkd.in/gzC7cxky

🚀 Generative AI is transforming government in 2025! From disaster planning to smarter infrastructure, the public sector is embracing AI to solve real-world challenges. But success doesn’t come from reacting to trends—it’s about getting ahead of them. That’s where Cloverleaf AI steps in: ✅ Spot opportunities months before they’re public. ✅ Identify decision-makers, budgets, and pain points. ✅ Help BD teams shape opportunities early. As agencies unify their AI tools, Cloverleaf delivers the intel contractors need to lead—not follow. Let’s talk about how we can help you build a winnable pipeline with the power of AI.

Enhancing EOCs with AI: A New Frontier in Emergency Management Jan. 3, 2025 Joseph Light One of the most significant advantages that AI brings to EOCs is the capability to process and analyze vast amounts of data in real time. During a large-scale incident, EOCs must synthesize information from multiple sources, including weather reports, social media, sensors and first responders. AI algorithms quickly filter this data to identify patterns and provide actionable insights to incident commanders. For example, AI tools can analyze social media feeds to detect emerging crises, such as natural disasters and civil unrest, to help EOCs to respond preemptively. Additionally, AI can assess sensor data from the Internet of Things (IoT), such as traffic cameras and air quality monitors, to monitor evolving conditions and alert decision-makers to potential hazards. AI also can optimize resource management, to ensure that personnel, equipment and supplies are deployed where they are needed most. Predictive analytics that are powered by AI can forecast the demand for resources based on historical data. This allows EOCs to pre-position assets in areas that likely will be affected by disasters. During an active incident, AI systems can provide real-time recommendations on the allocation of critical resources, such as ambulances and firefighting units, to reduce response times and to enhance operational efficiency. One application of AI in this area is the use of machine learning algorithms to predict the spread of wildfires, floods and infectious diseases. By analyzing weather patterns, topography, population density and other factors, AI systems can generate models that guide resource deployment decisions, which helps to mitigate the effects of disasters. Improving communication and coordination Communication is a cornerstone of effective emergency management, and AI can improve both the speed and accuracy of information-sharing between agencies, responders and the public. Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms can be integrated into EOCs to automate certain aspects of communications, such as translating messages into multiple languages and converting voice commands into actionable data. Moreover, AI-powered virtual assistants can provide responders with real-time updates and instructions that are based on the latest information that’s available. These assistants can sift through large volumes of data, prioritize the most critical information. Training and preparedness are key components of EOC operations, and AI can play a crucial role in enhancing both. AI-driven simulation tools can create realistic disaster scenarios, which allows EOC staff to practice their response in a controlled environment. These simulations can incorporate a wide range of variables, including weather conditions, population movements and infrastructure damage, to mimic the complexity of real-world incidents.

In his final week in office, President Biden has issued a new executive order announcing a plan aimed at "ensuring United States leadership in AI," with a particular focus on the role of AI for national security. Although most of the order addresses the energy and hardware infrastructure needed to support AI expansion, the order does acknowledge the need to ensure that AI tools are safe and well-governed. Specifically, it indicates that not only must "continuous work to mitigate risks and potential harms" be undertaken in building AI infrastructure, but also "[t]he American people more broadly must safely enjoy the gains and opportunities from technological innovation in the AI ecosystem." https://lnkd.in/dvAc3acN

Top 3 AI Security Actions from DHS: 1) Protect AI systems and data with robust cybersecurity measures and transparent AI usage policies. 2) Design AI models securely, ensuring privacy, bias checks, and alignment with ethical standards. 3) Detect anomalies and establish clear reporting channels for AI-related threats.

California's State Senate just passed their ambitious AI regulation. There's a lot to say on this, but one theme stands out: bipartisanship. This bill follows the bipartisan trend of several other AI regulatory votes in Kentucky, Tennessee, Minnesota and California. This trend can have two effects: 1. Regulation is likely: A big reason AI is bipartisan is that the tech has no natural political constituency. What *does* exsist is Silicon Valley's inability to sell the public on the tech. ChatGPT is interesting and useful in the office, but a 'better email' isn't a hill anyone is willing to die over. Until tangible promise - such as AI drug discovery- is at the center of the AI message, no one will bat an eye at regulation. 2. Non-regulatory policies are likely: In Washington and in the states we've also seen this same bipartisanship grease the wheels on non-regulatory measures. Expect legislation to create numerous studies, committees, and bodies. Also expect various R&D and AI safety investments. While the California bill isn't at the center of my research, for discussion of its critical infrastructure related provisions check out my recent post on Digital Spirits. https://lnkd.in/epxQzN2R
