The U.S. government has set guidelines for artificial intelligence adoption and establishing trustworthy AI within Federal Agencies. This contains outlines for: principles for the use of AI in government, common policy for implementing Pprinciples, catalogue of agency use cases of AI, and enhanced AI implementation expertise.
