Artificial Intelligence

In the last 30 years, no technology has promised to change government like generative AI. Today, it is the top driver of transformation in the public sector. Recent research shows that 97% of government leaders believe generative AI will have a major impact on their agencies and industries.

As a result, 67% of organizations plan to increase their spending on technology, prioritizing investments in data and AI. Additionally, 7 in 10 agencies have training programs in place to help employees learn how to use generative AI tools effectively.

Despite this enthusiasm, 56% of leaders say that being ready with data is the biggest challenge to adopting AI. By overcoming this hurdle, federal agencies can improve efficiency, make better decisions, and provide superior services to citizens, all while keeping pace in today’s digital world. We believe that AI is a powerful tool for growth and innovation in government.
