How GovAI Summit Will Help Government Agencies Build American AI Infrastructure
When the White House released the American AI Action Plan in 2025, its second pillar of building American AI infrastructure set a bold goal: give the nation the physical, digital, and human resources it needs to lead in artificial intelligence. That means investing in cutting-edge data centers, robust cloud capacity, secure networks, advanced semiconductor manufacturing, and a workforce trained to design, deploy, and manage AI systems at scale.
GovAI Summit, taking place October 27–29th in Arlington, Virginia, is where federal, state, and local agencies come together to translate this national vision into actionable steps. You can read more about how we’re supporting the first pillar here.
At its heart, the second pillar is about ensuring that AI in government isn’t limited by outdated systems or fragmented capabilities. GovAI provides a platform for agencies to explore digital transformation in government, from modernizing IT architecture to integrating machine learning in government workflows that can handle real-time analytics and predictive services.
By focusing on public sector digital transformation with AI, the Summit gives attendees a roadmap for building resilient infrastructure that supports everything from smart cities and AI innovation to scalable artificial intelligence for public sector services. GovAI Summit creates for connecting trusted AI innovators with government agency leaders to drive the future of AI development forward.
Infrastructure isn’t just hardware; it’s also the frameworks and policies that ensure technology is trustworthy. At GovAI, agencies learn how to embed responsible AI for government and ethical AI in government operations into their infrastructure strategies. This means building systems with AI governance frameworks, AI ethics and accountability principles, and compliance measures that meet evolving AI policy 2025 and AI regulation and government compliance standards.
A strong foundation also demands attention to AI and data privacy laws, ensuring that every new capability aligns with public expectations and strengthens AI and public trust.
The second pillar is about people. GovAI offers AI workshops for government leaders, artificial intelligence training for government teams, and AI leadership events that equip decision-makers with the skills to manage complex systems. From government AI executive training to targeted sessions for AI for policy makers, the focus is on ensuring that leaders at every level can make informed, strategic decisions about infrastructure investments.
By bringing together technology providers, policymakers, and agency innovators, GovAI helps connect the dots between infrastructure and government modernization. Attendees leave with clear strategies and new relationships with vetted professionals for deploying infrastructure that supports data-driven decision making, enhances AI for public services, and accelerates the future of AI in public administration.
This also ties directly into national priorities around digital government conferences and national AI strategies, making sure that local and state initiatives are aligned with federal goals.
You can see sessions that dive deeper into the second pillar in the GovAI Summit program. This October, speakers will highlight the work of agencies designing future-ready systems and aligning investment with long-term capability:
- AI Infrastructure: Grid, Chips, & Data Centers
- Secure-by-Design AI in Critical Infrastructure
- AI Cybersecurity + Incident Response in Action
- CHIPS Program and Secure Compute
- Scaling AI Training and Talent Within Agencies
- Education & Apprenticeships for AI Infrastructure
Why This Matters Now
The second pillar of the American AI Action Plan is urgent. The demand for AI-ready infrastructure is skyrocketing, and the ability to deploy it quickly and responsibly will define which governments lead in the years ahead. GovAI Summit is the nation’s leading venue for turning this mandate into reality by offering the expertise, partnerships, and action plans agencies need to move from aspiration to execution.
If you’re tasked with building the systems that will power AI in government for the next decade, you can’t afford to sit this one out.
Register now for the GovAI Summit and take the next step toward building the infrastructure that will define America’s AI future.
