SUMMARY:Meet the Chiefs: Chief Artificial Intelligence (Washington\, D.C.)
DESCRIPTION:Tom Bendien\, Founder and CEO of GT Edge AI will be attending this event and is available for meetings prior to or afterwards. Please connect with him via LinkedIn and hope to see you there! \n\nAbout Meet the Chiefs: Chief Artificial Intelligence: \nArtificial intelligence is no longer an experiment for government. It has become a mandate. Federal leaders are under pressure to harness AI’s potential while keeping pace with fast-evolving policy and heightened public scrutiny. The administration’s July executive order and GSA’s launch of USAi.gov reflect a new phase in this journey\, one where agencies are expected to accelerate adoption while proving that AI can be deployed responsibly\, securely\, and in direct service to mission goals. For AI leaders\, this shift creates a high-stakes environment where innovation must advance in step with oversight\, and where success is measured as much by public trust as by technical progress.\nDuring this Meet the Chiefs discussion\, Nextgov/FCW will look at how CAIOs are putting these national priorities into action. Speakers will examine how recent policies are shaping governance models\, workforce strategies\, and industry collaboration. The conversation will also explore the balance between innovation and risk management\, the infrastructure needed to support AI at scale\, and the trust-building efforts essential as AI becomes more deeply embedded in government operations.\n  \nRegister Here for the Conference
