The whirlwind of artificial intelligence tools in 2023 proved the government is eager to embrace the technology as soon as possible. An overwhelming 99% of agency leaders agree investing in safe and effective AI is essential to fulfilling their mission, according to a recent survey conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of ICF.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the challenges to undertaking data modernization, such as legacy systems, budget constraints, and data security
