As we embrace #AI to enhance our travel experiences, maintaining trust is crucial. Will Healy spearheads the Booz Allen Hamilton team supporting Recreation.gov. His team is leading the way to progressively introduce AI in travel planning and collect real user feedback, exemplifying how we can harness the power of generative AI responsibly. This incremental approach includes a beta test where 25% of users are randomly offered more personalized, AI-powered options. By iteratively gathering user feedback, Recreation.gov can identify additional guardrails and improve system prompts to ensure a more consistent and reliable experience for all. #ResponsibleAI #TravelTech Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ef-qM68W

Where's the Beef? I mean Data! Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) leaders emphasized the importance of transparency and relevance in AI pitches! DISA advised vendors to avoid using AI just for the sake of it and instead focus on how AI features work and the data they were trained on! The key takeaway: AI solutions must be mission-specific and backed by solid, well-curated data! https://lnkd.in/eys_DJ8W Steve Wallace #Rocks Sydney Freedberg Breaking Defense #AI .

I was pointed this this posting today by my friend John Wissler (LtGen, USMC (Ret)) about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Strategic Plan for the next 4 years. There were 6 salient priorities that cross the boundaries of parties and departments where frontier technology companies can provide vital aid and support at a #COTS level. Whether its protecting our borders from #forcedlabor, to targeting fentanyl derivatives hidden in shadow companies shipments on their way to cartel recipients- Altana is supporting the plan!

In a new eBook from Federal News Network, #BoozAllen experts Imran Umar and Erica Banks share lessons learned from DOD’s Thunderdome project and how they can be applied to federal civilian agencies as they implement #zerotrust architectures of their own with the help of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program. Other #cybersecurity insights focus on #cloud, #EDR, and OT systems.

ASK DTS: What advice do you have for small business contractors going through CMMC? A: Don’t delay. The longer you wait, the more stressful and expensive the remediation will be. You're going to need 3rd party support, and cybersecurity service providers (including DTS) are getting busy and may become more selective about who they work with or charge rush fees. We're hearing that C3PAOs are already booked for months too. #DTSCybersecurity
