From what we were able to gather before the feds presumably locked it down, AI.gov will serve as a hub for government agencies to begin adding AI to their operations, as was envisioned by TTS chief and Elon Musk ally Thomas Shedd<\/a> when he took control of the team in late January.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shedd, whose professional career was largely spent as a software integration engineering manager at Tesla before being tapped to head the TTS, came to the government with AI top of mind. He reportedly<\/a> wants GSA to operate like a software startup, and proposed a whole-of-government, AI-first strategy to automate much of the work done by federal employees today.\u00a0<\/p>\n Based on a staging link of the AI.gov site hosted on GitHub that has also been taken down (we have an archive<\/a> copy for you, thankfully), Shedd’s mission will kick off in earnest on July 4 – the apparent launch date for the site, according to an issues thread from the now-hidden GitHub page.<\/p>\n AI.gov’s planned launch date is July 4, according to its developers – Click to enlarge<\/p>\n Per the bare-bones staging implementation of ai.gov, the project has three components: A chatbot that’ll do \u2026 something; an “all-in-one API” that will allow agencies to connect their systems to models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic; and something called “CONSOLE,” which the page describes as a “groundbreaking tool to analyze agency-wide implementation.”\u00a0<\/p>\n From what we could gather based on the staging site, which didn’t include working copies of sub-pages, CONSOLE will allow agencies to monitor AI usage at their agencies in real time to see how employees are using tools and which ones they prefer.\u00a0<\/p>\n The staging site indicates that GSA is working with FedRAMP-certified vendors. According to API documentation from the GitHub page, AI.gov will serve AI models via Amazon Bedrock<\/a>, most of which listed in the API documentation are known<\/a> to be FedRAMP certified for government usage. But we did note the presence of a model from enterprise AI firm Cohere in the API documentation, and it doesn’t appear that Cohere has been FedRAMP certified.\u00a0<\/p>\n A list of some of the AI models AI.gov will push, according to API documentation – Click to enlarge<\/p>\n GitHub documentation also indicates the site will publish model rankings, though we weren’t able to ascertain what the criteria would be.<\/p>\n The federal government has made a lot of noise about using AI lately, with the Trump administration<\/a> and DOGE pushing for its adoption and trying to eliminate state-level regulations<\/a>, while government agencies increasingly adopt it to replace employees<\/a> eliminated in widespread layoffs and rely on it for critical decision making<\/a>.<\/p>\n Experts have expressed concern<\/a>, stressing that widespread adoption could create considerable security risks as AI systems gobble up confidential data<\/a> and personally identifiable information about citizens.\u00a0<\/p>\n We contacted staffers involved in the AI.gov implementation, and Shedd, for comment but didn’t hear back from anyone, other than to see the repository door slammed shut.\u00a0\u00ae<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We’re less than a month away from the Trump administration’s launch of an initiative to push AI across…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-173933","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114661168667101812","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173933","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"ai-gov-launch-date\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ai-gov-launch-date.jpg\" "\\"AI.gov's")
