"Federal decisionmakers overwhelmingly view AI as a powerful and needed tool to drive modernization and efficiency efforts. However, the AI adoption curve is shallow, as half of all AI initiatives are still in pilot or planning stages, and many agencies have yet to identify specific use cases for the technology."
"Workforce skill gaps are among the top barriers despite a near-universal focus on upskilling, as leaders are trying to close the gap between the skills agencies have and the deep expertise they need to move federal agencies along in their transformation journeys."
"One potential approach is to collaborate with other federal agencies to advance progress on modernization initiatives."
A recent Ernst & Young survey reveals that a significant majority of federal leaders consider artificial intelligence crucial for enhancing operational efficiency. While 88% view AI as a critical modernization tool, many initiatives are still in pilot or planning phases. Key barriers to implementation include budget constraints, outdated technology, and workforce skill gaps. Notably, 44% of leaders cite a lack of skilled labor as a major obstacle. Other challenges include slow procurement, cybersecurity threats, regulatory requirements, and inadequate data storage.
