Are you ready to scale trustworthy artificial intelligence at your agency?

Federal work on AI, machine learning and data-intensive pilots and projects is not new. But the White House’s October 2023 executive order on secure development of AI — coupled with congressional bills aimed at ensuring security and privacy remain chief focuses — has created a new set of priorities for agencies going forward. 

During Federal News Network’s inaugural AI & Data Exchange, presented by Guidehouse, government and industry experts shared insights and progress on AI work and discussed how to address the related challenges that all agencies face.
