DHS invested early into developing capability in the augmented intelligence to improve service delivery with Virtual Assistants, language translation, data analytics, and IVR. The Department has extensive processes in place to identify and mitigate risks, yet the scalability, speed and reach of augmented intelligence technologies and potential systemic impacts on the community, both positive and negative. In this session, gain insight into what has been achieved to date and explore upcoming possibilities in this pivotal time of the ‘Intelligence’ Era:
