The George Washington University Law School (GW Law) has been selected, alongside Stanford University and Princeton University, to lead a series of crucial trainings for thousands of executive branch policymakers and senior leaders in September and October 2024 as part of the General Services Administration’s AI Community of Practice (AI COP).
In compliance with the Artificial Intelligence Training For the Acquisition Workforce Act and Executive Order 14,110, GW Law will deploy its multidisciplinary expertise to lead the 2024 AI Training Series’ acquisition track, focusing on equipping government employees with knowledge to effectively procure and manage AI technologies. Topics will include risk management, national security and regulation compliance. The project is a collaboration between Associate Dean for Government Procurement Law Studies Jessica Tillipman and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Aram Gavoor.
“It is an honor that George Washington University was selected to partner with the U.S. government to educate the federal workforce on artificial intelligence acquisitions and public procurement best practices,” GW Provost Christopher Alan Bracey said. “This kind of interdisciplinary public interest work showcases the expertise of GW’s faculty as well as our deep and continued relationship with the federal government.”
“I am proud to see our GW Law colleagues share their formidable expertise on government procurement and AI—in furtherance of a federal statute and an executive order no less—and use their platform to make an impact by equipping our nation's federal workforce to deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning ethically, effectively and with excellence,” GW Law Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew said.
