Building for What’s Next: CDC’s AI Strategy Embraces Speed and Flexibility

Travis Hoppe, Acting CAIO, CDC

The CDC is taking a major step forward in its approach to artificial intelligence with the release of a new four-year AI strategy aimed at strengthening public health capabilities and modernizing data use across the agency.

Outgoing acting Chief AI Officer Travis Hoppe discussed how years of foundational work have positioned the CDC to responsibly adopt and scale AI technologies. He underscored the importance of balancing innovation with federal compliance requirements, including FedRAMP authorization and rigorous cybersecurity standards, while maintaining strong partnerships with industry and state and local partners.

As AI capabilities evolve, he also discussed the importance of agility across federal IT leadership — continuously reassessing tools, guidance and workforce readiness to keep pace with a rapidly changing landscape.
