Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics Mission Area
There are many interrelated aspect of data governance and management that Federal Agencies are responsible for. Key considerations include how data is collected, stored, and archived as well as public access to government data. Here are a few of the most common policy elements that you may encounter in dealing with IT systems put together by ATARC Board member, Bill Hunt.
Leadership Team
The White House Executive Order on American AI Initiative signifies unquestionable effort to promote AI technology and innovation in the federal government as a whole. This initiative has further translated into agency-level undertakings such as the DOD Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC), and the GSA Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence.
ATARC is backing the federal CTO’s regulations for executing AI in ways that will make the quality of citizens’ lives grow, as well as support the administration’s directions successfully, by sharing knowledge for productive uses of AI. United States security, knowledge, and economic growth depends on it. Real-budgeted AI solutions, based on data governance and accountability is the goal for the years ahead.

Working Groups
Data Interoperability
ATARC’s overall mission is to help accelerate new and emerging technology adoption within the Federal Government, and it has created thematic Working Groups to align with the primary IT focus areas currently prevalent in the technology landscape.
Tradewind’s mission is to assist in identifying methods to accelerate AI adoption throughout the DoD and uses special interest group activities to create collision spaces for ideas, processes, tools, and policies to be developed.
Our Joint Working Groups are led by IT thought leaders within government, academia and private industry. They promote collaboration within the Federal IT community, facilitate regular interaction between technology evangelists, and foster knowledge sharing and exploration of emerging technology solutions.

Drones in Government
Drone technology has greatly impacted day-to-day mission delivery at many agencies. Once found only on the battlefield, drones are now used for various non-military applications across the Federal Government, with widely varying and quickly increasing use cases.
This group will collaborate on the various aspects of using drones to advance agency mission and serve constituents – including but not limited to data storage, management, and security, drone operation safety, domestic versus foreign manufacturers, public perception, and more.
