Feds Weigh Generative AI Use in Cybersecurity, Data Analysis
Federal officials see generative AI helping better identify cybersecurity threats, sort through massive amounts of data at speed and equip the workforce with information for driving better decisions, Nikki Henderson reported. The The National Institutes of Health are exploring the benefits of using generative AI for analyzing data sets. During a recent webinar, Nathan Hotaling , senior data scientist with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) , said that generative AI is critical when looking for electronic health record data.?
“It makes that unstructured data actually searchable, understandable and instantly findable. Functionally, it means that you are going to be able to harness all of that unstructured information that sits inside of PDFs and paragraphs of text in places that before you needed a human to read through,” said Hotaling. “Generative AI helps us move to that next level and my group is working on analyzing physician notes and we also use it to help our scientists find the relevant publications to the questions that they’re asking.”?
Health Care Leaders Are Building Cyber Resiliency
Federal leaders are learning how health care organizations can build and budget for cyber resiliency as the attack landscape grows.
“Resiliency costs money. … You can’t just plug in a new system and that you are now resilient,” said Keith Busby , acting CISO & Information Security and Privacy Group Director at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services . “You don’t need to throw out everything that you’ve done. You just need to look at it from a different angle and look at some of the best practices that have been around for years.”?
