Intelligent Government: Smart Strategies to Accelerate AI Innovation

Federal agencies are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence to improve mission performance, enhance service delivery, and strengthen decision-making. As adoption accelerates, leaders face new challenges around preparing fragmented data, governing AI systems, and managing risks while delivering measurable results.

Agencies are looking for practical strategies to overcome cultural and technical barriers, ensure responsible use of emerging technologies, and empower the federal workforce using AI as a true force multiplier.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify key strategies for preparing and governing data so that it is AI-ready and supports mission-driven outcomes
• Understand how agencies are applying AI to mission delivery by focusing on high-value use cases rather than adopting technology for its own sake
• Explore governance and risk management practices that enable innovation while ensuring compliance, accountability, and trust in AI systems
• Recognize the role of AI as a workforce multiplier, including how agencies are upskilling employees and integrating digital assistants to increase efficiency
• Apply lessons from federal and industry leaders on building sustainable AI strategies that balance agility, interoperability, and responsible innovation
