Trump’s AI Policy Shifts Focus to ‘High Impact’ Use Cases

August Gweon’s commentary was included in a Federal News Network article examining a decision by the Trump administration to revise a Biden administration memo on artificial intelligence (AI) to now focus federal artificial intelligence efforts on “high impact” use cases and directing agency chief AI officers to accelerate the adoption of AI technologies.

August said the new AI policy gives agencies more discretion in how they approach risks: “These risk management practices are worded in a way that allows agencies to think, is this aligned with the rapid adoption and use of AI to further the agency mission?”
