Throughout our “AI in Plain English” series, we’ve explored examples and shared analogies to help non-experts better understand key AI concepts. For those of us supporting federal missions, understanding AI fundamentals is crucial for effective implementation and strategic planning. AI continues to progress at a rapid pace, bringing even more shifts. One powerful concept gaining traction: Agentic AI.

Every student has been there—the teacher’s eyes lock on you. They ask a question that makes your stomach sink and heart rate quicken—because you really don’t know the answer. You could say “I don’t know (IDK),” but that won’t look good. Instead, with a slight stammer, you begin to make something up, hoping to fake it well enough to get off the hook.
In a strategic move to accelerate growth and enhance employee experience, Unissant Inc. (Unissant) today announced the appointment of Laila Salguero as Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer.

CMS actively seeks to reduce and mitigate improper payments. Within the Medicare Fee-For-Service program, CMS employs Review Contractors (RCS) to measure, prevent, identify, and correct improper payments. CMS looks to Unissant to modernize and re-architect its Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation (esMD) system, which allows RCs and providers, through Health Information Handler (HIH) organizations to share medical documentation electronically instead of via letter of fax.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) hold the power to rapidly transform healthcare and improve health outcomes. However, the success of AI/ML solutions depends on the accessibility of diverse and representative data. Scarcity of data for specific socioeconomic or ethnic groups, though, can introduce bias, skewing AI/ML models.
Every day, countless systems work in unison behind the scenes, powering our lives. From the electricity that lights our homes to the internet that provides global connectivity, our critical infrastructure is integral to our economy, our security, and our way of life.
For federal missions, the stakes are high. Sure, an inaccurate weather forecast can disrupt your day or maybe ruin your favorite pair of shoes. But for national security missions, an unreliable AI model can introduce false positives or negatives, leading to the misidentification of threats. Similarly, for federal health missions, an unreliable AI model could perpetuate bias, negatively impacting research and care.
The demand for solutions leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continues to surge. Core to every AI or ML solution is a robust security model that protects data privacy. These more advanced data solutions demand a data security and privacy paradigm that evolves beyond approaches such as data suppression and data masking that, frankly, miss the mark when it comes to robust model security.
One of the biggest challenges associated with AI algorithms is the idea that they require vast amounts of data. While data is essential for development, it presents several challenges, particularly in the areas of Data Privacy and Data Security.
