Pathways to Trusted Progress with Artificial Intelligence

National governments have created AI-related strategies, frameworks, and guidelines on the ethical use of AI. Yet while people have faith in AI to produce good and reliable outcomes, they have questions about the safety and security of AI systems. Specifically, this concerns public trust in AI itself, and trust in government to develop mechanisms to successfully deploy and manage such a powerful technology. These issues cover trust in AI in the context of design, development, deployment, and evaluation of public services and public policy.

Government Procurement and Acquisition: Opportunities and Challenges Presented by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

However, agencies face enduring challenges in modernizing the procurement process to support mission achievement, including requirements definition, competition, pricing, contractor oversight, federal procurement data, acquisition workforce, and small business participation.

Mobilizing Cloud Computing for Public Service

To understand how agencies are mobilizing cloud computing for public service, the Partnership, in collaboration with the IBM Center for The Business of Government, hosted a series of events in 2022 featuring federal IT leaders. Over the course of three webinars, we heard from the Census Bureau; the departments of Agriculture, Defense and Veterans Affairs; the Federal Emergency Management Agency; the Government Accountability Office; the National Institutes of Health; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and the Office of Personnel Management.

Charting the Course to Tomorrow’s Trusted Digital Services

The report draws on the findings of an expert roundtable with senior leaders from a variety of agencies, as well as nonprofit, academia, and technology organisations. Roundtable participants discussed learnings and case studies of transformation to chart a course to the trusted digital services of tomorrow, focused on three main questions:

Advancing AI in Defense Organizations

The use of AI in national defense dates back more than 6 decades, but the transformational impact of this technology on defense operations only began to be realized in the past 10 years. AI-enabled solutions present significant opportunities for defense organizations to improve mission outcomes; however, leaders must be prepared to address the challenges their organizations might encounter on their AI journeys.

This approach is emphasized in legislation such as the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act codified in January of 2019.

Emerge Stronger and More Resilient: Responding to COVID-19 and Preparing for Future Shocks

Moreover, collective strategies have led to identification and resolution of challenges in way that brings together government leaders, scientists, data analysts, health care organizations, academic institutions, and industry.

The Key to Modern Governmental Supply Chain Practice: Analytical Technology Innovation

Over the past few years the COVID-19 pandemic has done much to expose and highlight critical gaps and flaws in the global supply chain. While demand for products and services continues to surge, key players in the supply chain delivery value chain struggle to meet that demand in a timely fashion. Scarce supply has resulted in increasing prices for finished goods and raw materials and an inflationary global economy.

Emerging Technology for Response and Recovery: An International Dialogue

Critical challenges that agencies face include the increasing volume of incidents and emergencies, overly complex trade and immigration processes, and evolving threats to borders and customs. Governments can leverage data, AI, intelligent automation, and other emerging technologies to address these complex challenges—while also freeing up critical human resources for high value missions.

Delivering on the Vision of Multi-Domain Command and Control

Across the defence and national security landscape, all involved are grappling with the speed of technological change and the deteriorating strategic context. Everyone, from capability development to planning to operations, is aware that Western Allies no longer have a technological advantage over peer adversaries. This means to win the future battle, we must be focused on gaining situational advantage—making decisions better and faster than the enemy. Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) is focused on gaining that decision superiority.
