0:02 well it's really interesting I've been
0:04 thinking about the AI implementation
0:06 across the government and probably the
0:10 last two major shifts in software AC
0:12 acquisition are probably worth
0:14 Contracting folks thinking hard about
0:17 the first one was uh when we had to
0:20 adapt and adopt to the internet um you
0:22 know that just changed everything from
0:24 you know maybe client server at their
0:26 best or local applications on computers
0:28 and now all of a sudden there was this
0:30 thing called the net and the web and we
0:32 had to build websites in every
0:35 Department that were facing uh users and
0:39 and maybe other government customers and
0:40 probably the next one after that that
0:43 most of us might remember is actually
0:46 the shift to the cloud again another
0:48 major transformation in acquisition and
0:52 and deployment of of services I think
0:54 from both of those we should really be
0:55 thinking about what were the Lessons
0:58 Learned in acquisition and obsolescence
1:01 um in Contracting and the rest that we
1:03 got right and that we also got wrong and
1:05 also what new policies are in place
1:07 since those uh two major shifts have
1:09 happened I would kind of look at those
1:11 as if I was an acquisition professional
1:14 and go boy I wish we would have known X
1:17 when we built website a or used vendor Z
1:19 we had a 10year lockin with software
1:22 that got obsolete in six months the
1:24 world of AI is rapidly evolving it's
1:27 reshaping how we approach procurement as
1:29 acquisition professionals you're being
1:32 tasked to rethink traditional methods
1:34 Technologies like machine learning
1:36 natural language processing and
1:39 automation are now at the Forefront
1:41 demanding that we expand our expertise
1:44 to evaluate and acquire them effectively
1:46 the challenge is clear AI Solutions
1:49 evolve fast much faster than traditional
1:51 products contract management and
1:54 performance evaluation present unique
1:57 hurdles and new considerations in areas
2:00 like intellectual property and security
2:03 require fresh terms and conditions but
2:05 here's the exciting part this challenge
2:08 is also an opportunity and here is where
2:11 you come in your role is essential to
2:14 the success of AI in government AI
2:16 acquisition literacy means having the
2:19 knowledge to Envision procure and manage
2:21 these Technologies effectively not
2:23 through coding or deep technical
2:25 expertise but by strategically
2:28 leveraging AI to drive Innovation
2:31 efficiency and better decision- making
2:33 you will have to develop new skills and
2:36 adopt new methods not just to keep up
2:39 but to lead and the truth is this isn't
2:42 about adopting AI it's about making sure
2:46 it's done well you will be the hero who
2:49 ensures the AI projects are ethical well
2:51 planned and align with national
2:54 objectives history has shown us that
2:56 major government missions rely on the
2:58 collaboration between industry and
3:00 skilled acquisition teams
3:03 you are a crucial part of that
3:05 success this course is designed to equip
3:07 you with everything you need to navigate
3:10 the complexities of AI acquisition
3:12 Congress the White House and government
3:14 leaders have all recognized the
3:16 importance of building an AI literate acquisition
3:17 acquisition
3:20 Workforce by mastering these principles
3:22 you'll drive remarkable changes in areas
3:25 like Public Safety defense and health
3:27 care but remember if these
3:30 responsibilities are mishandled the
3:32 consequences can be severe wasted
3:35 resources stalled progress and
3:37 compromised National Security that's why
3:39 this course is here to help you be the
3:42 solution not the problem as you saw in
3:44 the timeline of acquisition literacy it
3:47 is people just like you that steered the
3:50 history of our great country and it is
3:52 people just like you who will determine
3:56 our future so let's do this you have the
3:59 tools the guidance and the opportunity
4:02 to make a lasting impact this is your
