CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Program Manager, National Strategic Computing Reserve Pilot Program Office

(November 13, 2022)
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES / NEWS

The Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program is seeking candidates interested in serving as the Program Manager for the NSCR Pilot Program Office. The NSCR Pilot Program Office will (1) develop a plan, to include the structures, policies, and processes for an NSCR Program Office, and (2) prototype the implementation and operation of these structures, policies, and processes. The Pilot Program Office plan and its prototype implementation will serve as framework that will inform that subsequent creation and operations of a production NSCR Program Office. It will define a one-stop shop in which subject matter experts will engage agencies with relevant missions, including first responders, science and engineering research, and workforce development, to quickly mobilize and deploy critical cyberinfrastructure (compute, software, data, expertise) capabilities and services in alignment with their missions during national crises and emergencies.

Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights: Making Automated Systems Work for the American People

(October 4, 2022)
AI / NEWS

The Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights is a guide for a society that protects all people from these threats—and uses technologies in ways that reinforce our highest values. Responding to the experiences of the American public, and informed by insights from researchers, technologists, advocates, journalists, and policymakers, this framework is accompanied by From Principles to Practice—a handbook for anyone seeking to incorporate these protections into policy and practice, including detailed steps toward actualizing these principles in the technological design process. These principles help provide guidance whenever automated systems can meaningfully impact the public’s rights, opportunities, or access to critical needs.
