Successful AI in government adoption requires collaboration across organizational boundaries. Unlike private companies, federal agencies operate in an environment of shared data, interoperable platforms, and policy-driven constraints. This is where GovAI’s cross-agency collaboration pillar plays a critical role.
At GovAI Summit, sessions and networking opportunities are designed to encourage knowledge sharing between agencies facing similar challenges. Leaders can exchange best practices, troubleshoot obstacles, and co-develop solutions. For example, one session might focus on shared AI infrastructure for public safety agencies, while another explores cross-agency approaches to AI risk management. By connecting practitioners in these focused forums, GovAI Summit accelerates the adoption of responsible, mission-aligned AI.
Insights from Aligning Agency Strategy with Federal AI Goals highlight the importance of alignment across agencies. Individual projects that are isolated from the broader federal vision may be technically sound but often struggle to scale or gain stakeholder support. Collaboration allows agencies to share both successes and lessons learned, creating a cumulative knowledge base that benefits the entire federal ecosystem.
Cross-agency collaboration also strengthens trust. In Trust and Transparency in Government AI Systems, we explored how public confidence is bolstered when agencies follow consistent standards and demonstrate shared oversight practices. GovAI provides a platform for discussing these standards in practical terms, from AI auditing processes to ethical procurement practices.
Practical examples abound:
Multiple agencies are collaborating on AI for workforce analytics to improve efficiency while protecting sensitive personnel data.
Agencies sharing AI models for predictive maintenance of critical infrastructure, reducing duplication of effort and ensuring interoperability.
Joint workshops on ethical AI use, fostering consistency across departments and increasing public trust.
These collaborative experiences at GovAI are not just theoretical exercises—they directly inform implementation strategies that agencies can take home. Leaders leave with concrete examples of how collaboration can improve efficiency, reduce risk, and accelerate innovation in line with federal AI policy.
By bringing together cross-functional teams from different agencies, GovAI encourages the formation of communities of practice. These networks often continue beyond the summit, enabling ongoing learning, mentorship, and support. This sustained collaboration ensures that AI adoption is not just a one-off initiative but a continuing, evolving effort across the public sector.
