The Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM) has worked collaboratively with public and private organizations since May to present the global 2024 Public-Private Partnership Security and Resilience Seminar Series.
This series includes subject matter experts from industry, academia, and government sectors, sharing critical infrastructure best practices, valuable lessons learned, and include introduction of preparedness resources and tools that can be used by organizations to reduce risk and increase resilience. The 4-part series addresses a wide array of topics including an introduction to violence prevention, addresses the impacts of houselessness, and offers two seminars focusing on the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence. The full series has been open to business, industry, state, local, and federal participants from around the world.
The Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) knows that with the prevalence of artificial intelligence, counties want to know how they can be intentional and proactive. The last two sessions of this series are both 90 minutes long and explore the challenges, hidden dangers, and managerial risks associated with integrating AI, emphasizing the importance of ethical, secure, and effective implementation, and will feature insights from experts in government and the private sector to help seminar attendees explore strategies and considerations for harnessing AI’s power responsibly within organizational settings.
