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.

The conference theme, “Balancing Opportunity and Risk: The Systems Engineer’s Role in the Rapid Advancement of AI-Based Systems,” explores the intricate relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and systems engineering, encompasses five distinct tracks. The SE4AI track focuses on leveraging systems engineering principles and methodologies to develop robust and efficient AI systems. The AI4SE track delves into the application of AI in systems engineering processes, enabling enhanced decision-making, optimization, validation, and verification. The Human-AI Teaming track examines the collaboration between humans and AI, exploring how to maximize the synergistic potential while addressing ethical and social implications. The Trustworthy AI track highlights the critical aspects of safety, reliability, and ethical considerations in developing and deploying AI systems. Lastly, the Digital Engineering & SE Workforce Development track explores the evolving role of digital engineering and its impact on the systems engineering workforce, fostering skill development and adaptation in an AI-driven landscape. This comprehensive framework ensures a holistic exploration of the opportunities and risks associated with AI in systems engineering, paving the way for responsible and sustainable development.
