DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how govern
 ments operate—enhancing efficiency\, supporting informed decision-making\,
  and improving public service delivery. As agencies increasingly adopt AI\
 , they unlock new opportunities to address societal challenges while uphol
 ding transparency\, security\, and accountability. However\, responsible A
 I integration requires innovation\, thoughtful acquisition strategies\, ri
 sk management\, and cross-agency collaboration.\n\nJoin us for the 13th An
 nual Not-So-Winter IT Luncheon\, hosted by AFCEA Bethesda Emerging Leaders
 . Public and private sector leaders will discuss how to implement AI thoug
 htfully and responsibly in government. This year’s event will focus on AI 
 governance\, innovation\, cybersecurity\, privacy\, and the evolving feder
 al acquisition landscape for AI solutions.\n\nWith AI poised to become a c
 ornerstone of government modernization\, addressing risks\, defining perfo
 rmance standards\, and ensuring fair market competition is imperative. Rec
 ent guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) outlines new d
 eadlines and strategic priorities\, such as:\n\n 	* Establishing cross-func
 tional acquisition teams\,\n 	* Creating performance-based and agile contra
 cts\,\n 	* Avoiding vendor lock-in\,\n 	* Protecting government data and int
 ellectual property rights\, and\n 	* Leveraging AI in acquisition processes
 \, including market research and contract closeouts.\n\nThese priorities c
 all for improved transparency and performance monitoring in post-award con
 tract phases\, more precise delineation of data ownership\, and enhanced u
 se of AI tools to alleviate workforce shortages in procurement roles.\n\nK
 EY TOPIC AREAS:\n\n 	* AI Governance and Innovation: Implementing agile\, i
 terative contracts and ensuring adaptability to evolving AI features.\n 	* 
 Cybersecurity and Privacy: Safeguarding AI training and deployment data wh

  Streamlining market research\, solicitation development\, and procurement
