Artificial Intelligence in Critical Infrastructure Systems

IEEE publication COMPUTER, Oct. 2021

Bart Kemper, P.E. is a featured in a cross-industry panel discussing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it growing role in our society, particularly infrastructure.  The article is written by Prof. Phil Laplante, P.E. of Penn State and Ben Amaba, P.E., CTO at IBM and is intended to give a snapshot of how AI is going from science fiction to engineering reality, particularly with respect to infrastructure.  Bart was invited to this panel based on a combination of his work as a military engineer, his work in multiple industries regarding design responsibility, and his contributions to the ASME Risk Assessment and Mitigation for Critical Asset Management (RAMCAP) standard.  Together with the rest of the panel, they take a hard look at what is to come.

The paper is Open Journal and not behind a paywall.

Separate but related, Bart has also been nominated to the federal NIST Artificial Intelligence Oversight Committee.  The National Society of Professional Engineers based this nomination on his current work regarding AI issues such as autonomous vehicles (ground, air, and marine), his long history with infrastructure and security, and his practical experience with ethics and legal matters.
