Advancing the Responsible Acquisition of Artificial Intelligence in Government

The Federal Government is poised to harness the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to modernize operations and improve public service delivery. A new memorandum directs agencies to strengthen their AI acquisition processes, focusing on cross-functional collaboration, risk management, and fostering a competitive AI marketplace.

This guidance, aligned with the Advancing American AI Act and recent Executive Orders, emphasizes proactive risk mitigation and innovative acquisition strategies to ensure the safe and effective integration of AI technologies. By updating policies and sharing best practices, agencies can secure the benefits of AI while addressing privacy, security, and interoperability challenges.
