The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced USAi, an artificial intelligence tool that allows federal agencies to “experiment with and adopt” AI strategies at a fast pace.
The tool’s launch supports the efforts described in the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan.” USAi features an “evaluation suite,” which is described as a system that “not only fosters transparency and trust in emerging technologies, but also accelerates responsible innovation across the federal government.”
“USAi means more than access—it’s about delivering a competitive advantage to the American people,” said GSA Deputy Administrator Stephen Ehikian. “The launch of USAi shows how GSA is translating President Trump’s AI strategy into action and accelerating AI adoption across government. USAi will put mission-ready tools directly into the hands of agencies to modernize faster, boost security, and lead globally.”
GSA Chief Information Officer David Shive said the tool is “infrastructure for America’s AI future,” explaining that it “helps the government cut costs, improve efficiency, and deliver better services to the public, while maintaining the trust and security the American people expect.”
Upon announcing its AI plan in July, the White House said, “Winning the AI race will usher in a new golden age of human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security for the American people.”
Policies listed in the plan include exporting American AI around the world, developing data centers, supporting innovation by removing barriers, and preserving free speech in AI models.
The report details that an American victory in the AI race will unleash a new “information revolution” and “enable altogether new intellectual achievements: unraveling ancient scrolls once thought unreadable, making breakthroughs in scientific and mathematical theory, and creating new kinds of digital and physical art—a renaissance.”
