The GSA Technology Transformation Service (TTS) Centers of Excellence (CoE) seek to accelerate adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) to discover insights at machine speed. GSA FEDSIM, in partnership with the TTS CoEs and their federal customers, is seeking commercial technology solutions in AI aimed at supporting regulatory streamlining efforts.
