The Technology Modernization Fund has begun seeking project proposals to support the development and implementation of secure, trustworthy artificial intelligence systems across the federal government.
The General Services Administration said TMF is looking for AI projects designed to help federal agencies modernize legacy systems, accelerate mission objectives and enhance service delivery.
TMF is offering several paths for federal agencies to apply for funding to comply with an October 2023 executive order on the secure and trustworthy development and use of AI technologies.
“We have identified more than 700 use cases of where AI is being deployed across the federal government, from its use in anticipating and mitigating prescription drug shortages and supply chain issues to assisting cyber forensic specialists in detecting anomalies and potential threats in federal civilian networks,” Clare Martorana, federal chief information officer and TMF board chair.
TMF said in a separate announcement that it is looking for project proposals focused on enabling AI rapid deployment, assistive technology, process automation, improved customer experience and reduced administrative burdens.
