“AI is already in the government, but it is going to get much, much bigger,” said Larry Allen, GSA's associate administrator for government-wide policy and chief acquisition officer. Allen was speaking as part of a GovExec TV program.
The agency has created GSAi, an AI chatbot, that the agency intends to use as a force multiplier.
GSA's Federal Acquisition Service and Public Building Service are using GSAi to give employees quicker access to regulatory information and to automate research tasks.
Allen demonstrated the tool's use with this practical example:
"You feed the AI system prompts like, 'I'd like to understand what all of the statutory requirements are for government,' and you identify which laws are associated with it, and they'll come right back with a list of laws that impact government acquisition."
This capability can accelerate market research and is helping to rewrite acquisition regulations.
"Having to go through and research every little line item to see what statute it goes to. AI can assist with that," Allen added.
GSA is also looking at how AI can help improve contract drafting and evaluation.
"We're also talking about how we can use it to make our contracts better, how we can put out better statements of work. GSA AI can help with that, and it can also help with evaluating some of the offers," Allen said.
