"The new strategy signals how leaders across the Trump administration have embraced AI innovation, encouraging employees across the federal workforce to use chatbots and AI assistants for their daily tasks. As generative AI technology made significant leaps under President Joe Biden's administration, he issued an executive order to establish guardrails for their use. But when President Donald Trump came into office, he repealed that order and his administration has sought to remove barriers to the use of AI across the federal government."
"Experts said the administration's willingness to modernize government operations presents both opportunities and risks. Some said that AI innovation within HHS demanded rigorous standards because it was dealing with sensitive data and questioned whether those would be met under the leadership of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Some in Kennedy's own "Make America Health Again" movement have also voiced concerns about tech companies having access to people's personal information."
HHS presented a plan described as a 'first step' focused on making work more efficient and coordinating AI adoption across divisions. The 20-page document also proposes promoting AI innovation in patient health data analysis and drug development. The strategy calls for tearing down bureaucratic barriers and uniting use of technology under a 'Make America Healthy Again' banner. The administration encourages federal employees to use chatbots and AI assistants, and HHS made ChatGPT available to all employees. The plan promotes a 'try-first' culture and outlines five AI strategy pillars while acknowledging modernization presents both opportunities and risks involving sensitive data.
