The US government is planning to expand its use of artificial intelligence (AI), but a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) warns that it lacks a comprehensive plan for acquiring and responsibly using AI technology from the private sector. The report highlights the potential risks and benefits of AI, including concerns about security, algorithmic biases, and threats to national security. The GAO's survey of federal agencies reveals that AI is already being used in over 200 ways, with more than 500 planned applications. However, the lack of government-wide standards and inconsistent policies on AI use pose challenges to the welfare and security of the American public. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has yet to issue guidance on AI procurement, contributing to the inconsistent implementation of AI practices across agencies. The report also identifies shortcomings in agencies' approaches to AI and the need for updated plans and forecasts.
