Artificial Intelligence Trends For 2020

Commander Pablo Breuer, a DoD Cyber Cup and Defcon Black Badge winner and a Director of US Special Operations Command Donovan Group based in the United States participated in Risk Roundup to discuss the Artificial Intelligence Trends for 2020 Risk Roundup Webcast: AI Trends for 2020 Artificial Intelligence Trends Artificial Intelligence (AI) is demonstrating to be a decisive technology for human progress and advancement. It has made rapid advances over the years due to new algorithms and massive increases in data collection and computing power. It seems AI can be applied almost everywhere. AI has leveled the information, intelligence, and innovation playing field for nations. Digital data is undoubtedly playing a pivotal role in leveling the playing field. It is the digital data that is, in fact, fueling and fortifying AI and making it more versatile. While digital data is at the center, what is still creating complex challenges for the rapid adoption of AI for decision-making is the lack of credibility of digital data. As artificial intelligence brings a profound and lasting shift in the nature of information and intelligence, the demystification of patterns is rapidly shifting the relative balance of political, economic, and security power. Some sort of automation has historically driven industrial revolutions. The current phase of automation disruption is based on the broad advances in AI. It is essential to understand how this AI-driven automation disruption is different from the other automation we have seen over the years. As the AI-triggered disruption is ongoing, understanding the broader trends of the resulting fundamental AI-driven transformation has, therefore, become essential. Where is AI taking us? What are the AI trends to watch in 2020?What needs will the advances in AI meet for humans today and in the coming tomorrow?What advances are happening in the development of AI? Where are the advances being applied across nations and all its components?What are the industry trends of AI adoption?What is the broad promise of AI? What are the challenges?How is AI adding to the already complex cybersecurity challenges? How will human society evolve because of AI advances? History is the witness that the prior industrial revolutions liberated people from repetitive physical tasks. The current AI-driven revolution is on its way to liberate people from repetitive mental tasks. There is no doubt that AI will drive automation further and as a result, the rivalry between nations will undoubtedly intensify. The question is whether the exponential growth in AI will advance humanity towards a more meaningful and purposeful future or a future filled with wars. There is no doubt that the future is happening around us. The ongoing changes are very profound.  From the perspective of human history, no other technology has brought us a time of more significant promise or potential peril. Let us understand the trends and evaluate what it means for human existence.

In his prior roles, Pablo has served at the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command. He was also the Director of C4 at U.S. Naval Forces Central Command. Breuer has been adjunct faculty at National University, California State University Monterey Bay. He is also a Visiting Scientist at Carnegie Mellon CERT/SEI. Pablo is also a founder and board member of The Diana Initiative, an InfoSec event focused on advancing the careers of women in cybersecurity. He is also on the staff for BSides Las Vegas and CircleCityCon. Pablo holds degrees in computer science and is a Ph.D. candidate in information science. About the Host of Risk Roundup Jayshree Pandya (née Bhatt), Ph.D., a leading expert at the intersection of science, technology and security is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Risk Group LLC, host of highly influential Risk Roundup: Podcast/Webcast, a Scientist, an expert in disruptive technologies, and a globally recognized Strategic Security thought leader and influencer. Dr. Pandya has been involved in a wide range of research, spanning security of and from science and technology domains. Her work is presently focused on understanding how the converging technologies and its interconnectivity across cyberspace, aquaspace, geospace and space (CAGS); as well as individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) create survival, security, and sustainability risks, with the objective of providing strategic security solutions for the future of humanity. Dr. Pandya’s passion for solving complex problems facing humanity using science and technology began during her childhood. She pursued her interests in her studies, and in the 1990s, while doing her doctorate, she developed a Hydrogen Production system using Halobacterium halobium. She also developed a desalination process and discovered anticancer drugs. The trends continue as she gets actively involved in developing numerous solutions to complex problems facing humanity. Over the years, Dr. Pandya has made several significant contributions to the fields of Microbiology, Biochemistry, Anti-Cancer Drugs, Bio-Energy, Cyber-Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Global Security, including defining the Interconnectedness of Human Ecosystem (an integrated CAGS security framework), Integrity Rating System of Algorithms (a theory for integrity of news and online content), Algorithm Naming and Identification System (a framework to identify and track algorithm that brings security risks to the future of humanity), and most recently, the need for redefining the role of insurance to be the enforcer of risk management systems across NGIOA and ensuring a clear set of rules and model to manage the interconnected and interdependent security risks from the human CAGS ecosystem.   From the National Science Foundation to organizations from across the United States, Europe, and Asia, Dr. Pandya is an invited speaker on emerging technologies, technology transformation, digital disruption, and strategic security risks. Her work has contributed to more than 100 publications in the areas of science and commerce and has garnered her many advisory position honors. She is the author of the book, The Global Age: NGIOA @ Risk. Her upcoming book on “The Geopolitics of Cyber-Security: Implications for the Future of Humanity” will be released in early 2020.  She writes about Artificial Intelligence on Forbes.
