The Edge SeriesFederal Edge Collective
An invitation-only afternoon for government and GovCon leaders: lunch, a candid 70-minute moderated panel, and hosted networking with the people doing this work.
AI is increasingly influencing three consequential government activities: whether a payment goes out the door, whether the person on the phone is who they say they are, and how your proposal gets evaluated.
In all three, the same tool cuts both ways. It catches the improper payment and helps fabricate the record behind it. It verifies the caller and clones the voice. It speeds up evaluation and creates new grounds for protest.
On November 18, Kimberly Hornik of IntegrityM moderates a panel of people who do this work, from CMS program integrity to identity law to fraud analytics. We'll talk plainly about where AI is working, where it's adding risk, and what you should do about it.
Practical examples from program integrity, identity verification and acquisition, from people who can tell you what changed and how they measured it.
The failure modes that don't show up in a vendor demo: synthetic identities, fabricated records, over-reliance in evaluation, and data leaving the building.
What government and industry leaders should be asking of their own programs, their teams and their vendors before the next award or the next audit.
Catching improper payments before the money moves, not chasing them afterward.
Fabricated records that look clean enough to get the payment approved.
Verifying the caller, the applicant and the beneficiary at the front door.
Cloned voices and synthetic identities built to fool the line.
Faster proposal evaluation and compliance review.
Over-reliance, foreign tools, data leakage, and the failure modes that end in protests.
As an attorney and strategic growth leader, she brings 29+ years of compliance experience to steer the conversation.

The audience matters as much as the panel. Every request is reviewed so the room holds a working mix of:
Program, acquisition and integrity leaders.
The people setting capture and delivery strategy.
Those accountable when AI gets it wrong.
The people building and running the tools.
Practitioners and government only. The only vendors in the room are our sponsors.
No one waiting to pitch you. No exhibit tables, no badge scanning, no 400-person webinar.
A conversation, not a slide deck. The panel is a moderated discussion with time for your questions.
