Every generation, technologies emerge that transform humanity — from the creation of the wheel and the advent of the automobile to the invention of the modern computer and the internet. We’re at the brink of another metamorphic shift with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI allows organizations to mimic human intelligence — understand, reason, learn and interact. In its simplest form, AI combines computer science algorithms and robust datasets to enable problem-solving, pattern recognition and predictions.

To enable government employees to deliver improved citizen services, agencies are modernizing IT for digital resilience, digitizing data, automating processes, and deploying in the cloud. However, agencies face challenges from the traditional lift-and-shift modernization approach that's led to componentized applications and end-to-end fragmentation. The result is a need to access multiple systems to perform tasks, an increasing rate of application proliferation and as well as little (or no) integration of apps.
