The federal government is preparing to launch AI.gov, a centralized platform and API aimed at accelerating AI integration across agencies. Led by former Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd under the GSA’s Technology Transformation Services, the initiative includes tools from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, and Meta’s LLaMA, plus an AI analytics dashboard and chatbot. Internal feedback has reportedly been negative, with concerns about security and flawed contract analysis. The initiative reflects broader efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency to embed AI in daily operations despite skepticism from within.
