Artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise for federal agencies — it is delivering measurable results today. From improving decision-making to increasing efficiency and preventing waste, fraud and abuse, agencies are moving beyond pilot projects to real-world impact.
At the Defense Department, AI is reshaping logistics and supporting faster, better-informed decisions. Across civilian agencies, AI is boosting employee productivity, modernizing customer experience and helping leaders tackle long-standing operational challenges.
Over two afternoons, April 29–30, Federal News Network’s AI & Data Exchange will examine how agencies are applying the latest AI tools — including generative and agentic AI — to reduce administrative burdens, accelerate data analysis and drive mission outcomes.
Through in-depth conversations with Federal News Network journalists, government and industry leaders will share practical insights on how agencies can:
- Integrate AI responsibly and effectively into government workflows.
- Prepare and train employees to fully leverage AI-driven tools.
- Measure performance and outcomes for evolving AI technologies.
- Scale successful AI use cases across programs and agencies.
