Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

AI: How Will it Change the World and the Way You Live?

What is AI, how will it re-shape our world, and what should be taken into consideration as it becomes integrated into our daily lives?

GAO's report "Artificial Intelligence: Generative AI Technologies and Their Commercial Applications " offers insight into these important questions.

A convergence of factors enabled the rapid development of generative AI: availability of large datasets, refinement and augmentation of deep learning algorithms, and compute capacity. Commercial developers have created a wide range of generative AI models that produce text, code, image, and video outputs, as well as products and services that enhance existing products. AI is being used in software engineering, medicine, education, business, and more. However, the benefits and risks are still unclear for many applications.
