Federal agencies are refining their IT infrastructures to support AI as the tech becomes a critical part of how government will deliver services in the future. Officials from National Institutes of Health, U.S. Postal Service and Lumen share how they are building IT environments to better accommodate the demands of AI, while keeping security, scalability and mission priorities front of mind.
They also discuss the role of partnerships and data sharing in unlocking innovation, as well as why AI adoption is not a checkbox exercise, but a long-term evolution in how agencies think about their missions, data and services.
