Using Artificial Intelligence in Administrative Agencies

ACUS issues a statement to help agencies make more informed decisions about artificial intelligence. Federal agencies increasingly rely on artificial intelligence (AI) tools to do their work and carry out their missions. Nearly half the federal agencies surveyed for a recent report commissioned by the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) employ or have experimented with AI tools. The agencies used AI tools across an array of governance tasks, including adjudication, enforcement, data collection and analysis, internal management, and public communications. Agencies' interest in AI tools is not surprising.
