Ethics & Integrity Under Fire

Webinar | 02.14.22 - 02.15.22, 7:00 PM EST - 7:00 PM EST

On February 15, 2022, the National Security, Cybersecurity, and Foreign Relations Law Program, the Government Procurement Law Program, the National Security Law Association, and the Anti-Corruption & Compliance Association, hosted a special event, featuring Michael K. Atkinson, former Inspector General of the United States’ 18 intelligence agencies.


In 2019, the world first learned about a whistleblower complaint alleging that then-President Donald Trump had abused the Office of the President by soliciting foreign electoral interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The complaint triggered a formal investigation, which ultimately led to the first impeachment trial of Donald Trump.


The high-profile investigation, led by then-Inspector General for the U.S. Intelligence Community, Michael Atkinson, placed an international spotlight on the whistleblower protections afforded to employees of the intelligence community, the critical role of inspectors general, and the challenges of navigating a high-profile investigation in the midst of a political firestorm. We discussed these issues and more during this webinar, moderated by Kathleen Kedian, GW Law Professorial Lecturer in Law.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
