About this Webinar:

On June 17, OPM issued guidance aimed at upleveling federal performance management—calling for empowered supervisors, more frequent feedback, and data-driven accountability. The message is clear: annual reviews alone aren’t going to cut it. Federal agencies are reimagining how they evaluate, develop, and support their workforces in response to the recognition that annual performance reviews alone aren’t enough. As expectations for accountability, engagement, and mission delivery evolve, agencies are empowering supervisors to lead more frequent, meaningful feedback conversations using data-driven insights to track performance drivers. By empowering supervisors with better tools and training, applying workforce analytics, and encouraging open performance-based dialogue, agencies are aiming to boost engagement, retention, and mission outcomes.
This session will bring together agency leaders and workforce experts from OPM and other federal entities to share how they plan to put these ideas into practice—what’s working, what’s changing on the ground, and how lessons learned can help drive a stronger, more adaptable federal workforce.

About this Webinar:

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, from the way we work to the way we interact with machines. Once AI is able to utilize the power of quantum computing, the results—both good and bad—will be immeasurable. As AI becomes more sophisticated and quantum computers become more readily available, so too do the potential security risks.
This session will discuss the critical issues at the intersection of Quantum, AI and security. The panelists will explore:

Countering malicious use of AI systems and quantum computers by actors with ill intentions, such as criminals, terrorists, or hostile states.
Adversarial attacks on AI, such as attempts to fool or manipulate AI systems by exploiting their vulnerabilities or limitations.
Protection of the massive amounts of data used by AI systems to learn and improve their performance.
Using AI to enhance cybersecurity, such as preventing cyberattacks, optimizing security processes, and improving security resilience.
Deploying quantum-resistant security to protect data at the heart of AI
