Women in tech can supercharge teams' creativity and help them stay under budget, meet deadlines and improve outcomes, studies show, so it’s time for more women to pursue tech careers, according to a lead Department of Labor official speaking at GovernmentCIO Media & Research’s Women Tech Leaders event Thursday.

The Department of Homeland Security is prioritizing artificial intelligence, machine learning and data sharing to support data analytics for mission delivery — an effort that enabled the department to roll out COVID-19 vaccines rapidly to frontline workers earlier this year.

The Food and Drug Administration has launched a new artificial intelligence tool for detecting cancer screening, the latest example of the agency’s further innovation around artificial intelligence and machine learning for health care applications.

The National Institutes of Health is integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning to tackle inequalities across the health care system and advance medical research.

The agency’s AI efforts are progressing to include new capabilities in image search using machine-learning and automation.

Predictive analytics with machine learning capabilities can get ahead of the curb in fraud and waste prevention.

The Joint Pathology Center's effort to upload 55 million samples of tissues could pave new opportunities in medical research and patient care.

Despite potential for pandemic-induced disruptions, the Department of Homeland Security’s IT modernization strategy accelerated in 2020. The agency already moved about 75% of its network traffic to a new enterprise cloud-based network, and it hopes to finish the transition from legacy IT systems to the new network by early spring, said Deputy CIO (and current acting CIO) Beth Cappello.

COVID-19 forced many federal agencies to overhaul their IT strategies and transform the way they do work. But for some agencies, like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), COVID-19 is changing the way they accomplish their mission.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning can help improve data-sharing practices for better public health outcomes, a senior government official and an infectious disease epidemiologist said at a GovCIO Media & Research event in 2020.

Successful AI and machine-learning capacities within health systems require a foundational attention to data quality and the broader care environment.

Data-mining techniques will allow health researchers to sharpen COVID-19 literature and clinical trial database search results.
