The Road to Making AI Real: A Year in Review & the Future of Federal AI

It has been one year since the issuance of the Executive Order on AI, and the landscape has been evolving rapidly, both in the public and private sectors. Federal agencies have successfully implemented pilot programs and gained insights into challenges, risks and opportunities for “making AI real.”

For many agencies, the leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) may seem unachievable. Even those with well-resourced data systems might find it challenging to imagine the practical potential of AI. This webinar will explore critical aspects, including debunking misconceptions, addressing risks, and strategizing workforce development. The discussion will also delve into governance, the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute, genAI, value creation, and system-wide transformation. Real-world use cases will highlight AI’s impact on mission outcomes.

The discussion will look ahead at the future of AI adoption, emphasizing strategic integration into mission outcomes, such as enhanced decision-making and improved operational efficiency.

Learning Objectives:

• Examine recent examples of AI pilot programs established at several agencies, each with its own unique mission, resources, and objectives
• Outline the risk factors and steps to take to mitigate them
• Review the elements of AI governance, both those outlined by federal policy and those the industry identifies as best practice
