Welcome to Government & AI Summit!

As AI becomes part of everyday government operations, federal CIOs are responsible for directing where it fits, how to deploy it safely and securely, and what agencies need to support long-term adoption. During this panel discussion, federal CIOs will discuss how their agencies are approaching AI, where they’re seeing the most impactful changes, and what they envision for the future of AI strategy in government.

In 2025 alone, there were $3.04B in losses due to BEC, and today's attacks are getting harder to spot. As threats evolve to mirror real conversations and blend into normal behavior patterns, traditional "known-bad" detection leaves organizations dangerously exposed. In this session, we'll explore why signature-based tools fail, how shifting to "known-normal" can transform your security posture, and where behavioral AI is headed next.

During this session, NIST will reveal how its new AI Technology Evaluation (AITE) tool works in building effective test beds for AI, and how specific testing can help agencies make more informed decisions about which models are ready for the job.

As federal agencies move from AI experimentation to implementation, one thing has become clear: AI can no longer sit outside the mission as a standalone tool. It must operate inside the decisions, services, and workflows that shape mission outcomes. This session will explore how agencies can operationalize secure, governed AI inside real mission operations. The discussion will focus on how connected systems, agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop oversight, and workforce readiness can help agencies accelerate decisions, improve service delivery, and deliver measurable outcomes with accountability.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has seen early success using their internally developed SimplifAI tool to accelerate licensing reviews, support regulatory work, and help employees navigate complex documents. During this Quick Talk, the NRC will share how they developed and are expanding this tool, what they’ve learned from putting AI into practice, and how they decide which AI applications are worth pursuing.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s use of programs like GSA's USAI & OneGov has enabled them to build pilot programs and expand the use of AI across the agency. USDA’s CIO will share how the agency built its AI program, lessons learned from early pilots, and why governance and security are just as important as the technology itself.

Researchers increasingly rely on AI to analyze large datasets and tackle complex problems. The Department of Energy, for example, is expanding access to these tools to support research. This session will explore how Argonne National Laboratory’s AI inference service is being used, the types of research it supports, and what it means for the future of federally funded science.

The AI Executive Order set the policy floor. It didn't tell your team what Monday morning looks like. In this session, Amy Johanek sits down with Greg Hall, Okta's Federal Office of the CTO and former CISO at the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for the United States Attorneys (EOUSA), for a conversation about what actually changes when AI agents start operating inside federal networks. Drawing on over a decade of sitting in the chair, Greg cuts through the policy language to the operational reality: what CISOs are actually worried about, what CIOs are actually pushing for, and where the two collide. This isn't a compliance briefing. It's ten minutes with someone who's already lived the tradeoffs your agency is about to face, on what to do about AI agent identity, access, and oversight before the next audit — or the next incident — forces the answer.

From GSA to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, CAIOs are leading the next stage of AI adoption across the federal government. During this panel discussion, federal CAIOs will share how their roles are evolving, the lessons learned from AI implementation, and how to transform promising technology into mission delivery.
