PSC Provides Recommendations to Federal Executives on the Use of AI in Federal Acquisition

Published on 11/30/2023.

On November 16, 2023, PSC shared a white paper, “AI Technologies in the Federal Procurement Context: Recommendations for U.S. Contracting Officers” that reflects PSC member company input and provides recommendations on the use of AI tools in federal procurement and acquisition processes.

This document is the first in a series of issue papers that PSC (and our Emerging Technologies Working Group) will share with relevant U.S. executive and legislative branch officials on potential AI roles, opportunities, and implementation challenges in the federal context. They will also identify and discuss potential impacts to federal agencies, their contracting partners, and the American taxpayer.

In light of the recent executive order on “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence,” this issue paper is particularly relevant and timely; the intent is to provide the federal government with industry’s feedback, including but not limited to discussion of various AI-related considerations and key private sector investments, in support of federal missions.
