Beyond the AI Pilot: Turning Investment into Mission Outcomes
Government agencies are working to turn artificial intelligence investments into capabilities that improve operations and advance their missions. In this special Fed Gov Today program, host Francis Rose speaks with leaders from Appian, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the military community about moving AI beyond experimentation.
