The Social Security Administration has appointed Brian Peltier as the acting chief AI officer, who currently holds the positions of chief architect and responsible AI official within the agency. This selection is in line with the recent executive order on AI by the Biden administration, which requires federal agencies to assign individuals to supervise AI endeavors. Once the guidance on government technology employment is finalized, agencies will submit the names of these officials to the Office of Management and Budget.
Following this development, several agencies including the National Science Foundation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the Education Department have revealed their respective CAIO designations. While some agencies have transitioned their responsible AI officials to the CAIO role, others have opted for leaders specializing in data and technology. FedScoop is actively monitoring these appointments within Chief Financial Officer Act agencies.
It is important to highlight that the Social Security Administration is actively leveraging various artificial intelligence forms, as outlined in an agency inventory.
