Welcome to this HST talk.
My name is Dr. James Giordano,
and today we'll be
addressing big data,
artificial intelligence
and biosecurity
on the global stage.
This is the first part of
a two-part series that
addresses these issues.
So join me, if you will,
for the next few minutes
as we dive more deeply
into these topics and
their implications.

The information and views
presented in these
presentations are
mine and do not
necessarily reflect
those of any of the
funding agencies,
organizations that have so
generously supported my work,
inclusive of the United
States Department of Defense,
United States Naval War College,
United States Naval Academy,
the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency,
or those institutions
that have provided
ongoing funding for each and
all of the topics addressed.

To that end, it
becomes important to
acknowledge who those
funders were, and this work
was supported in part by
funding from the Henry
Jackson Foundation,
the United States
Department of Defense,
leadership initiatives
and by federal funds from
the National
Institutes of Health
as well as the National
Science Foundation.

Ongoing progress in data
and cyber science
and technology,
what is colloquially
referred to as
DCST, engages the reciprocity
between what we know
and what we can do,
and what we can do and
therefore what we know.
It's an interesting
dance that engages
the tools we have at hand
with the theories we develop.
From those theories, the need to
then develop more tools to
both validate those theories and
explore their possibilities
and articulation.
This then brings us to
the second part of
that proverbial dance,
tasks-to-tools and
tools-to-tasks.
In other words, what
are the tools we have
at hand and what
tasks do they allow?
What tasks are we trying to
accomplish, and what
tools are needed?
In many ways, this bespeaks
the ongoing progress in much
of science and technology,
but certainly that which
exists in data science,
cyber science, and
the technologies
that are important
for its realization.
