Many of us are old enough to remember the world before the Global Positioning System (GPS) existed. In those old days, we would use paper maps, ask people for directions, and use physical landmarks to navigate to where we needed to go. In ancient times, people used celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars for navigation. Today, whether we realize it or not, we all rely on GPS for many aspects of society. Every cell phone has GPS, almost all unmanned systems have GPS. GPS is used by cars, ships, and planes for navigation. We use it to get to where we need to go. Unmanned systems use it to perform their jobs. Commerce and shipping industries rely on it for global material and product distribution. Commerce relies on it for location-based services (all those apps on your phone you use to buy things). GPS is a cornerstone of America's economy. However, there are many environments in which GPS does not perform well. Furthermore, GPS is vulnerable to many types of hostile attacks. It is possible to jam GPS signals. It is possible to spoof (i.e., impersonate) GPS signals. The GPS satellite constellation itself is vulnerable to attack. Global geopolitical tensions and the military capabilities of many other nations means that one day, it is possible that we all wake up and GPS isn't there, or it isn't usable. So what happens then? This talk first presents an overview of the GPS system and how GPS works. The talk then goes on to discuss some of the performance challenges faced by GPS (e.g., performance in dense urban environments). We then we discuss some of the ongoing research being conducted to defeat the threats faced by GPS. We will learn how researchers are working to both detect and defeat hostile attacks. Finally, the tutorial then goes on to discuss the various methods researchers are attempting to provide reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) in a completely GPS-denied environment using non-GPS methods.

In this webinar, we will discuss the newly released ISO standard, ISO/IEC 42001: Artificial Intelligence Management System and its impact on the governance of AI. We will go over the context of the standard, it’s objectives, and the new framework it sets to help organizations build a responsible AI practice, develop an ethical practice, and build a long-term AI strategy. We will also address implications of the EU AI Act on U.S technology companies, and the impact of the EU Act on the issue of conformity assessment and standardization. Finally, we will discuss linkages between 42001 and the NIST Risk Management Framework, and go over the state of federal and local government AI regulations in the U.S Co-sponsored by: Ali Daneshmand Speaker(s): Sid Ahmed, Agenda: Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/428548
