The US Government Accountability Office has released a report on use and management of generative AI at US federal agencies. The headline finding was that, across the 11 selected agencies GAO reviewed with AI inventories, the total number of reported AI use cases nearly doubled from 571 in 2023 to 1,110 in 2024. At the same time, generative AI use cases increased about nine-fold, from 32 to 282. GAO also found that agency officials faced several challenges to using generative AI, such as: complying with existing federal policies and guidance, having sufficient technical resources and budget, and maintaining up-to-date appropriate use policies. For example, officials at 10 of 12 selected agencies said existing federal policy, such as data privacy policy, could present obstacles to adoption.
