"Meaningful adoption of artificial intelligence across federal agencies should be viewed as a continuing journey that starts with experimentation. Agencies have increasingly been deploying, piloting and exploring uses of AI capabilities in recent years, with these technologies being used for everything from veteran suicide prevention to training new asylum and refugee officers on how to interview asylum seekers."
"Ryan Palmer, architecture lead for AI services at the General Services Administration, said a lot of the work that needs to be done today is to help people pathfind AI tools in a safe way. GSA has been working to provide federal employees with the opportunity to experiment with and use AI capabilities through the rollout of its USAi.gov platform."
"Palmer said USAi helps to standardize the government's evaluation of AI models so federal users can have a better understanding of the ways the tools actually work, and then identify the right models for their needs. This type of experimentation-based approach helps with determining if an AI solution is actually needed."
Federal agencies are increasingly deploying AI across various applications, from veteran suicide prevention to refugee officer training. Successful adoption requires a journey starting with experimentation and prioritizing fit-for-purpose deployments. The General Services Administration developed USAi.gov, a centralized testing platform enabling federal employees to safely experiment with AI capabilities and standardize model evaluation. This approach helps agencies understand how AI tools function and identify appropriate solutions for their specific needs. The Marine Corps emphasizes that experimentation also reveals when AI is unnecessary, recognizing that many government problems require non-AI solutions.
