Federal AI Readiness: Why Data Infrastructure Matters More Than Algorithms
Federal agencies aren't struggling with AI due to lack of vision. According to a recent report, The Federal AI Readiness Gap, they're constrained by foundational gaps in data governance, infrastructure maturity, and architectural clarity that prevent scaling beyond pilots.
