From executive orders to the new "Tech Force" surge. Explore how the U.S. Government is operationalizing AI across defense, healthcare, and finance.
The Administration has launched a massive recruitment drive targeting Silicon Valley's top talent. The goal: embed 1,000 elite data scientists and engineers into federal agencies for 2-year tours of duty to modernize legacy systems and accelerate AI adoption.
Key milestones in the Federal Government's AI strategy.
Congress codifies the AI Center of Excellence within GSA and mandates agencies to document their AI use cases.
President Biden's landmark EO on "Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy AI." Established the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role for every major agency and set strict safety standards.
The "Implementation Handbook." Defined "Rights-Impacting" and "Safety-Impacting" AI, requiring rigorous testing and transparency (use case inventories).
The new administration launches the "Tech Force" to plug the talent gap and issues a revised AI Action Plan to accelerate deployment in national security and energy sectors.
Explore how specific agencies are utilizing AI right now.
Leveraging ML to identify check fraud and illicit transactions in real-time.
Predicting patient deterioration and detecting benefits fraud via automated logic.
Analyzing massive publication datasets to track disease outbreaks like Polio.
Accelerating innovation by using AI to search millions of prior art documents.
Deploying the "Risk-Based Collection Model" to close the tax gap.
Improving extreme weather forecasts and detecting wildfires via satellite imagery.
GAO reports indicate agencies are struggling to address risks like "data poisoning" and model theft. The new EO mandates stricter red-teaming for safety-critical systems.
Government salaries often cannot compete with Big Tech. The "Tech Force" initiative attempts to solve this via short-term, high-prestige tours of duty.
OMB M-24-10 distinguishes between AI that impacts safety (dams, grid) and AI that impacts rights (hiring, benefits). Agencies must navigate complex compliance for the latter.
