Plans to expand AI usage across US federal agencies highlight how governments are starting to operationalise AI at scale. This could improve efficiency but also raises concerns around oversight and accountability.

Sometimes when I think his name should be added to the banned word filter. Then he does something positive.

[Jeffy]

Government adoption changes the stakes significantly
Procurement and implementation will be complex

[Zero-Point]

Risk of over-reliance without proper safeguards
Could drive standardisation across industries. I'm sure Public trust will be a key factor

I cant bring myself to . Give it ten minutes.

[CodyRhodes99]

I did not know that, good to know. I will dig into that further.

[JustMartin]

Worked for me too. Worth doing even if the saving is small.

Not bad at all. The best deals are usually the ones that do not get advertised loudly.

Cheers for sharing that.

That is the approach I always take now. Happy to answer questions if you get stuck.

I have had mixed results with that approach. I keep a list of what I do to every fresh install so I can repeat it without thinking.

Happy to help further if you get stuck.

I trust recommendations from people who have actually used it over a month, not first impressions.

[David74]

I have seen that go wrong more than once. I have done similar and the prep mattered more than the expensive bits.

Should be fine if you take your time.

[Oscar_86]

I would only bother if the saving is real and not just headline nonsense. Good to know about.

Most AI tools I have tried are impressive for a session and then disappear from my routine.

[BretHart_Mike]

That is how I do it and it works. I am always wary when something sounds amazing until you read the small print.

Worth a look if you have not already.

[DigitalNomad76]

That is pretty much what I took from it too. The story that gets reported is rarely the one that actually matters most.

That is my read on it anyway.

The useful stuff is harder to spot because there is so much noise around it.
