On February 11, 2019, President Trump signed Executive Order 13859, establishing the American Artificial Intelligence Initiative, a whole-of-government approach for maintaining American leadership in AI to ensure it reflects our Nation’s values. The implications of AI will affect all aspects of our society, from international security and the transportation industry to the speed at which everyday government services can reach the public, such as tax forms, immigration visas, and Social Security.

As AI becomes more ingrained in the day-to-day work of federal agencies, public sector leaders are tackling procurement, security, and ethical challenges. Through in-depth research, news, analysis, and insights from our award-winning journalists and a nationwide community of expert voices, Government Executive Media Group, Inc. is ready to help our government audience understand the opportunities and threats surrounding AI to better serve our citizens, warfighters, and veterans.
