I doubt there are many implementable AI solutions for government departments at the moment but I'm encouraged to see them begin evaluation and risk analysis now. More productivity and capability as well as savings would be a good thing in my book and something US governments are already woefully behind on compared to private businesses.
As with many government jobs, I worry that the salaries aren't there to attract the best people for these positions but something is better than nothing.
Is something really better than nothing? Thinking about the damage that could be done by someone who doesn't really understand the tech or isn't good at seeing the future, makes me nervous about this.
yeah i certainly questioned that myself. it would be a very bad outcome for people to rush to implement things that aren't ready and maybe having the position at all will put pressure on the people to start "accomplishing" things vs viewing it as a research and development position.

> every federal agency must appoint a chief AI officer with "significant expertise in AI."
Can't wait to see who actually gets appointed.
