In response to the Executive Order titled Promoting the
Use of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in the Federal
Government, the Government Blockchain Association, GBA, is
pleased to announce that we are launching the AI for
Government Community, led by Mr. Oki Mek, the Chief
Artificial Intelligence Officer, (CAIO), for US Health and
Human Services, (HHS).
Mr. Mek, along with Jose
Arrieta, Former CIO at HHS, developed Accelerate, the first
blockchain-based program in the Federal government to get an
authority-to-operate. This program was purported to save HHS
$30 million over five years, according to MeriTalk,
2/11/2020. Mr. Mek’s leadership will be instrumental in
supporting government’s use of Artificial intelligence (AI)
for economic growth and improving the quality of life for
their citizens.
The International Community will meet
virtually, the first Monday of each month, from 3-4 PM. On
this call, Civil Servants from around the world can discuss
best practices and lessons learned regarding government use
of AI. Government employees from Tel-Aviv to Hyderabad can
sign up discuss their intricate AI challenges.
The GBA
Artificial Intelligence & Government Community of
Interest is open to anyone in government who would like to
join the conversation. GBA membership is free for all
government employees. If you would like to join this
community, please go to the GBA Membership page to register
as a free civil servant and then go to the Community of
Interest page to join this group.
