Why the government market for artificial intelligence technology is expanding

Recent research has found that artificial intelligence technology is expected to remain a major priority for federal agencies. While the COVID pandemic response added urgency to the development of agencies' IT and AI capabilities, these technologies are rooted in agencies' long-term IT and R&D strategic plans. The Federal Artificial Intelligence Landscape, 2022 report, produced by Deltek's Federal Market Analysis team, examines the major budgetary, policy, acquisition and workforce issues influencing federal AI priorities. That research has found that as government mission requirements grow, federal agencies are seeking ways to maximize the use of the vast data sets they collect and store. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have emerged as key solutions enabling agencies to improve mission effectiveness, stretch workforce capacity, combat waste, fraud and abuse and drive operational efficiencies.
