""We talked with many agency officials about challenges acquiring AI. For example, some said there was difficulty accessing AI technical experts, like data scientists, to evaluate contractor proposals. Officials also said it was hard to understand AI-related costs.""
""The agencies we spoke with didn't regularly collect and share lessons learned from acquiring AI. Doing so could help them better prepare for using AI in the future.""
""The lack of collected feedback across all sampled agencies is a major hindrance to effective AI technology acquisition and adoption.""
The Government Accountability Office reported that AI use cases in federal agencies have more than doubled, yet the acquisition process remains challenging. Interviews with leaders from four agencies revealed difficulties in accessing AI experts, understanding costs, and protecting data. The lack of feedback collection across agencies hinders effective AI adoption. Recommendations include updating policies to facilitate information sharing and address specific challenges in AI procurement, ensuring agencies are better prepared for future AI integration.
