GSA’s USAi Platform Accelerates AI Adoption Across Government
Zach Whitman, Chief AI and Data Scientist, GSA
The General Services Administration launched USAi.gov in August, providing a secure generative AI evaluation suite that enables federal agencies to experiment with and adopt AI faster, safer and at no cost. Designed to support the White House’s America’s AI Action Plan, USAi puts tools like chat-based AI, code generation and document summarization directly into the hands of government users.
Zach Whitman, the agency’s chief AI officer and data scientist, explains how USAi is helping agencies modernize operations, boost workforce efficiency and strengthen mission delivery. He also discusses how the platform provides a trusted space for experimentation, fosters responsible innovation and equips employees with the skills and insights needed to make informed AI adoption decisions.
