Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Case Inventory

AI technology is already significantly impacting some key functions, such as how people search for information, check computer code for errors, and perform query analysis. In the future, AI's reach will dramatically expand into new areas, and it is essential that the Agency appropriately considers any risks associated with deploying those new technologies. GPO has recently begun exploring how AI advanced technologies can benefit the Agency, ensure our products' security, enhance productivity, and increase efficiency. In the effort to create a transparent adoption of AI technologies, this page serves to highlight the various uses of AI across GPO.
