Intelligent Government: Smart Strategies to Accelerate AI Innovation
Presented by Fed Gov Today and ServiceNow
Artificial intelligence is transforming how government operates — improving mission outcomes, strengthening data-driven decision-making, and empowering the federal workforce. In this special program, host Francis Rose brings together senior leaders from across government and industry to explore how agencies are preparing their data, governing AI responsibly, and turning innovation into measurable mission results.
Segment 1 – Making AI Work for the Mission
Mike Hurt, Group Vice President for U.S. Public Sector at ServiceNow, explains how the most successful federal agencies are connecting data, workflows, and governance to deliver real outcomes — not just AI experiments. He shares why good data and sound governance are the keys to effective AI, and how agencies can avoid “doing AI for AI’s sake” by focusing on high-value use cases that accelerate mission success.
Segment 2 – Getting Control of Your Data
Taka Ariga, Former Chief Data and AI Officer at the Office of Personnel Management, and Patrick McGarry, Federal Chief Data Officer at ServiceNow, dive into the cultural and technical challenges behind data fragmentation. They discuss how agencies can adopt agile governance, foster collaboration across legal, HR, and IT teams, and build the trust and transparency needed to make data truly AI-ready.
Segment 3 – Turning AI Vision Into Mission Impact
Adarryl Roberts, Chief Information Officer at the Defense Logistics Agency, and Jonathan Alboum, Federal Chief Technology Officer at ServiceNow and former CIO at USDA, reveal how DLA’s AI Center of Excellence is transforming supply chain operations, procurement, and workforce readiness. They share how agencies can use AI as a true workforce multiplier, empowering employees to innovate and deliver more with fewer resources.
Segment 4 – Building Trustworthy AI Through Governance and Risk Management
Martin Stanley, AI Risk Management Framework Lead at NIST, and Melissa McGriff, Vice President of Federal at ServiceNow, close the program by exploring how strong governance and smart risk management enable responsible AI innovation. They explain how the NIST AI RMF helps agencies balance risk and opportunity — and why building a risk-aware culture is essential for sustaining public trust in AI.
From data and culture to governance and risk, Intelligent Government: Smart Strategies to Accelerate AI Innovation reveals how federal and industry leaders are turning AI from potential into performance.
