Thomas Shedd, the former Tesla engineer now leading Technology Transformation Services, has proposed an 'AI-first strategy' for the U.S. government. He suggests running the office like a startup to promote efficiency and innovation. This strategy emerges as the department considers a significant budget cut of 50%. Central to this plan is the development of a centralized government contract database designed for AI analysis, reflecting a trend towards smaller government and increased reliance on AI in the public sector advocated by rising Silicon Valley executives in government roles during the Trump administration.
