Exploring the Future of AI with the DOE and GSA

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries, and the U.S. government is no exception. Two key players in this transformation are the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the General Services Administration (GSA). These agencies are laying the foundation for trustworthy, innovative, and scalable AI applications across government operations—while tackling the vital issue of risk management.

At the recent AI World Government event, insights from AI leaders revealed exciting advancements in how these agencies are driving AI adoption and accountability. Here’s a closer look at their strategies and tools shaping the future of government AI systems.

Building Trustworthy AI at the DOE

The DOE is on a mission to become a global leader in AI innovation. PAMELA ISOM, Director of the AI and Technology Office at the DOE, emphasized the agency’s commitment to a strategic and holistic approach to AI. Her focus? Precision, trust, and accuracy.

A centerpiece of this effort is the AI Risk Management Playbook. This comprehensive tool guides agencies on navigating AI risks, covering key areas like system features, risk mitigation strategies, ethical considerations, and connections to relevant Executive Orders. Designed to ensure AI operates responsibly, the playbook is currently being used internally at the DOE. However, the agency plans to make it available to other federal agencies soon—promising a real-world resource for managing the complexities of AI adoption.

By prioritizing ethical AI and rigorous controls, the DOE is setting a high standard for federal agency innovation.

Scaling AI with the GSA

The GSA is also playing a critical role in accelerating the adoption of AI across the government. At the forefront of this mission is ANIL CHAUDHRY, Director of Federal AI Implementations for GSA’s AI Center of Excellence (CoE). He shared his vision for seamlessly integrating AI into government operations, emphasizing best practices for scaling AI systems.

Chaudhry stressed the importance of leveraging industry expertise and robust infrastructure to ensure successful implementation. His ideas highlight a collaborative approach—combining government needs with private-sector ingenuity to unlock AI’s full potential.

By focusing on scalability and practical execution, the GSA is providing a roadmap for how agencies can deploy impactful AI solutions at scale.

A Unified Vision for Government AI

The combined efforts of the DOE and GSA demonstrate a unified drive toward advancing AI in government. While the DOE focuses on mitigating AI risks with tools like the AI Risk Management Playbook, the GSA is paving the way for scalable, efficient AI integration. Together, they are setting a benchmark for how AI can transform government processes responsibly and effectively.
