SERC and INCOSE AI4SE & SE4AI Workshop 2023

Oct 11-12, 2023 NJ

Sponsored and organized the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE), this virtual event builds on the 2023 AI4SE & SE4AI Workshop sponsored and organized by SERC and the U.S. Army DEVCOM Armaments Center (AC) Systems Engineering Directorate in collaboration with the George Washington University.

Balancing Opportunity and Risk: The Systems Engineer’s Role in the Rapid Advancement of AI-Based Systems

Following overwhelming interest in the 2023 AI4SE & SE4AI Workshop at the George Washington University, SERC and INCOSE answered the call to expand the discussion to an international audience. This event is tentatively slated to take place at 8pm-12am ET on October 11th and 8am-12pm ET on October 12th. Abstracts are sought from government, industry and academia for presentations and panels to explore the exciting advancements and challenges in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and systems engineering (SE). All selected abstracts and presentations must be approved for public release.

The rapid development of AI presents both tremendous opportunities and inherent risks. As AI continues to revolutionize various industries, it becomes crucial to strike a delicate balance between seizing the potential benefits and addressing the potential risks. The conference theme, “Balancing Opportunity and Risk: The Systems Engineer’s Role in the Rapid Advancement of AI-Based Systems,” aims to foster discussions and insights on the responsible deployment of AI in systems engineering and how systems engineering can support the development of robust and ethical AI systems.
