The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second term have featured a torrent of education activity. President Trump moved to abolish the US Department of Education, slashing its workforce and yanking hundreds of millions of dollars in grants. He issued executive orders expanding school choice and demanding changes in how institutions manage gender, antisemitism, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. His team has pursued unprecedented sanctions on Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania, while signaling that many other universities could be next. What should we make of all this, in terms of both process and substance? What has the administration gotten right, and what’s it getting wrong?oin AEI’s Frederick M. Hess and a panel of experts to discuss the new Trump administration’s early moves on education, how they’d assess the administration’s performance, and what they’re expecting looking forward.Submit questions to [email protected] or on X with #AEITrump100Days.Agenda3:00 p.m. - Opening Remarks:Frederick M.

As President Donald Trump dismantles the federal government one agency at a time, he has handed Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, unprecedented power to cut and reshape the U.S. bureaucracy. Trump established the Department of Government Efficiency, which is overseen by Musk, in January with the goal of reducing federal spending and streamlining government operations.In the spirit of public accountability, ProPublica is identifying the staffers working for this highly secretive group. By late March, we profiled 66 staffers helping DOGE, which has cut humanitarian programs domestically and abroad and fired tens of thousands of federal workers. (Some of these staffers have ties to Musk’s private enterprises.) Despite DOGE’s mission to reduce federal spending, its own funding reached nearly $40 million within the administration’s first month. The department’s ambiguous leadership structure has also led to legal challenges and judicial scrutiny regarding the legitimacy of DOGE’s actions.Our reporting team has examined the recruitment of attorneys, including former Supreme Court clerks, who have been brought onto the DOGE team as it undertakes significant initiatives across various government agencies.​ The department’s actions have led to legal challenges, with several groups alleging its operations may be unlawful. These disputes have the potential to escalate to the Supreme Court, highlighting the critical role that these lawyers may play in navigating the complex legal landscape surrounding DOGE’s activities.During this virtual event, ProPublica’s reporting team will review what they’ve learned about the inner workings of DOGE and answer your presubmitted questions.

Governments around the world are increasingly acknowledging the transformative potential of Generative Al (GenAl) in revolutionising public service delivery and operations. GenAl has the potential to improve government-citizen interactions, streamline administrative processes, and speed up policy-making and implementation . However, despite its promising capabilities, the widespread adoption of GenAl in government sectors faces several significant challenges. According to Gartner fewer than 25% of government agencies are expected to offer citizen-facing GenAl-enabled services by 2027, citing major obstacles such as fear of public failure, lack of community trust and few mature options for mitigating GenAI-related risks.In this webinar, panellists from Asia-Pacific countries will gather to explore the key areas where GenAl is projected to make the most impact in government, discuss the challenges of scaling GenAl use in government, examine its benefits and risks in government operations, and explore strategies to scaling GenAl adoption in government. Attendees will gain insight into how to use GenAl to meet citizens' expectations, enhance service delivery, and improve public service quality and efficiency.Key takeaways:Gain insights into the major barriers that governments face in implementing GenAI, including risk management, public trust, and the complexities of integrating GenAI pilot into existing systems ​ Learn actionable strategies to overcome challenges, enabling the effective deployment of GenAI in public services to improve operational efficiency and citizen engagement​​Discover how to design and deliver impactful GenAI initiatives to meet citizen expectations, emphasising empathy and transparency to foster greater public trust in government technology initiativesSpeakers: Daniel Roelink - Director Digital Strategy, Investment & Architecture Digital NSW, NSW Department of Customer Service; Ensley Tan - Industry Lead for Public Sector (Asia-Pacific), SAS; Eric Tan - AI Scientist and Team Lead of the AI Data – Engineering Division, Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA); Prof Kimberlee Weatherall - Member of the Artificial Intelligence Expert Group; Professor of Law, Australian Government; University of Sydney; Sai Krishna - IT Advisor, Government of Telangana.

In addition, investing in and using these technologies leads to improved investigation outcomes and more efficient resource allocation.As more law enforcement agencies add these valuable solutions to their toolkits, a vision emerges of how all these systems working together can give law enforcement agencies a powerful, intelligence-led foundation to prevent and investigate crime and build safer communities.In this webinar, you’ll learn:• The foundational and emerging technologies contributing to proactive crime prevention and real-time situational awareness.• How communication technologies and collaboration platforms enhance information sharing and coordination within law enforcement agencies.• How social media monitoring and open-source intelligence tools aid in gathering actionable intelligence.• How law enforcement can identify people of interest through the signatures emitted in or within electronic devices like fitness trackers, RFID tags and mobile phones.Speakers: Jim Bueermann, Philip Lukens and Todd Child.

With a new election around the corner and last election's voting dramas still in our minds, security concerns around digital voting booths are at an all time high. Not only does a democracy require a secure voting system to function at all, but the voting public must be able to feel confident that the election has been handled safely and honestly. Without this trust, our nation’s public institutions could find themselves vulnerable. Despite concerns about criminal interference, a software-powered ballot box remains the most efficient and accessible form of voting that we have – and one that doesn’t look like it will go away any time soon. So how can we strengthen this system and foster confidence in the voting system? What does a truly secure ballot box look like? And is this something that should be modernized or improved upon for future elections? Join hosts Dan Lohrmann and Earl Duby in this election-themed episode of CISO Insights, to hear them and their expert guests take a sharp look at defending the ballot box.
