Federal Agencies Urged to Prioritize AI Talent and Transparency: OMB's New Guidelines

Published: Nov. 1, 2023, 9:38 p.m.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has released draft guidelines urging federal agencies to focus on increasing AI talent and the transparency of AI use in the US government. The guidelines ask agencies to appoint chief AI officers, increase reports on AI usage, implement safeguards for public-affecting AI use, and encourage diverse applications. Critics argue that attracting high-skilled tech talent to government roles could be challenging due to higher pay in the private sector. The guidelines are open for commentary until December 5.
