DHS Leads Government’s Largest Civilian AI Hiring Effort
Michael Boyce, Director, AI Corps, DHS
Department of Homeland Security AI Corps Director Michael Boyce runs the largest civilian AI hiring effort in the federal government. The new service is modeled after the White House’s U.S. Digital Service that embeds experts at agencies to tackle critical tech projects — in this case embedding AI across the agency’s critical mission areas.
On this AI GovCast miniseries, Boyce discusses his journey to the agency with his prior roles at the Office of Management and Budget. He breaks down how he envisions the growth of the AI Corps, how it ties into the department’s goal of serving as a model to the rest of government around AI development and some of the unique considerations he faces around upskilling the workforce and developing guardrails around responsible use of AI.
