Erik Heilman joined IEEE-USA in June 2023 bringing extensive knowledge of the legislative and political process developed during over twenty years in both the legislative and executive branches of the federal government, and in representing business interests in various advocacy and lobbying functions. In his capacity as IEEE-USA’s Director of Government Relations, Erik leads a team of legislative and policy professionals that helps shape American technology policy for the benefit of IEEE members, the technology professions, and the broader American public. Join us for an interesting evening as we learn how IEEE-USA represents the engineering profession to the US government. Date: April 25, 2024 Time: 11:30am to 1:00pm Location: WH401 Speaker(s): , Erik Heilman Agenda: Round-table discussion Room: 401, Bldg: WH, 2121 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, Ohio, United States, 44115

[] Real-world examples of examples and demos in using AI-assisted tools are introduced to increase your productivity. These tools include actual use of these AI-assisted tools during education week to promote events like Digital Privacy, AI Design Automation, AI Supply Chain Management, and AI-assisted Tutoring as well as for increasing awareness of these events, resulting in significant savings in time and money. Specifically, some of the features to be demonstrated are: - Use of ChatGPT for Idea Generation: Sample prompts to generate ideas for generating AI images for the above events. - Text-to-Speech - Text-to-Image AI generation: Example prompts using image generation tools such as Midjourney and Fotor. If time permits a free design tool using Canva that was used to create a sample newletter - These include developing consistent characters for creating stories for k-12 in explaining why STEM fields are meaningful careers. - Especially, engineering where it is a challenging program but a rewarding discipline. - Offering many career paths not necessarily in engineering: such as legal, medical, and entrepreneurial career paths. - AI-powered design assistance such as Canva (if time permits, may just describe its AI features) - Edited features such as mass background removal for a bulk of images. - With Midjourney, you can collaborate or gather ideas from other users. - An introduction to text-to-video AI generation: A demo example of using video creation and AI assisted software to generate videos resulting in reduced production time and cost using automation in the video creation process (if not enough time and if there is interest then future a presentation on this exciting topic are planned - Easily create professional-looking videos without technical expertise - Voiceover and Text-to-Speech in adding your narration in multiple languages for a personal touch to the videos - Access to vast library of stock images, videos, and music to enhance videos Overall, the AI-assisted tools are designed to empower users to create visually appealing and engaging multi-media content with ease. Whether users are working on personal projects or collaborating with a team, you can use various platforms and achieve professional results. By leveraging AI technology, customizable templates, collaboration tools, an image library, and a user-friendly interface, users can unleash their creativity and bring their design visions to life effectively. This presentation is only a glimpse of what AI can do. This flyer will be updated providing links to help you come up with your own creative ideas that will be given below. I will try to post most of the ideas at the IEEE Pikes Peak Section website at: https://site.ieee.org/pikespeak (https://site.ieee.org/pikespeak/artificial-intelligence-for-increased-productivity/#1712513047687-400b6e4f-a61d) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC4v5AS4RIM) Speaker(s): John Santiago, Agenda: 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm: Introduction 6:35 pm - 7:35 pm: Presentation 7:35 pm - 8:00 pm: Q & A Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416519

Abstract: In this talk, we focus on the recent developments toward integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). We consider a broad definition of coexistence, which covers ISAC, collaborative communications, and sensing with interference. Toward fully realizing the coexistence of the two systems, optimization of resources for both new/futuristic sensing and wireless communications modalities is crucial. These synergistic approaches that exploit the interplay between state sensing and communications are both driving factors and opportunities for many current signal processing and information-theoretic techniques. In addition, a large body of prior works considers colocated ISAC systems while distributed systems remain relatively unexamined. Building on the existing approaches, the tutorial focuses on highlighting emerging scenarios in collaborative and distributed ISAC, particularly at mm-Wave and THz frequencies, highly dynamic vehicular/automotive environments that would benefit from information exchange between the two systems. It presents the architectures and possible methodologies for mutually beneficial distributed co-existence and co-design, including sensor fusion and heterogeneously distributed radar and communications. The tutorial also considers recent developments such as the deployment of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in ISAC, 5G systems, passive internet-of-things, and ISAC secrecy rate optimization. This tutorial aims to draw the attention of the radar, communications, and signal processing communities toward an emerging area, which can benefit from the cross-fertilization of ideas in distributed systems.

From the GAO Science & Tech Spotlight (https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-106782), “Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that can create content, including text, images, audio, or video, when prompted by a user. Generative AI systems create responses using algorithms that are trained often on open-source information, such as text and images from the internet. However, generative AI systems are not cognitive and lack human judgment.” Recently, the OMB, DoD, USAF, and USSF have all published various policies and guidance on use of these new technologies for different government and defense use cases. With how rapidly this technology has been proliferating through various aspects of society, educators and researchers need to be able to learn how to effectively use and teach the use of these new capabilities while still following guidance and policies of whatever organization they work for. In an effort to arm the faculty and students at the Air Force Institute of Technology with the knowledge and resources to accomplish their mission of providing superior defense focused education using cutting edge tools and techniques, the AFIT Gen AI working group has developed the AFIT AI Resource Hub. This resource hub contains various levels of policy/guidance, resources available related Gen AI, examples use cases for both classroom and research environments, along with other potentially useful information. This working group was led by Major Mark Bateman, who in this discussion will share insights into the fundamentals of Gen AI and Large Language Models, potential risks and concerns associated with their use, and some potential use cases of this technology.
