NextGov/FCW’s Meet the Chiefs: Chief Artificial Intelligence

Exploring Government AI: from Pilots to Programs

AI is now a mandate for government—and leaders must deliver results while protecting security, oversight, and public trust. On February 12, 2026, NextGov/FCW brings Chief AI Officers together to unpack what it takes to move from policy to practice, including the infrastructure and governance needed to scale responsibly. Abt will be there to connect with peers who are making AI usable across real programs.

For 60 years, Abt has advanced health and operational effectiveness across federal agencies as a data and technology solutions partner. Today, we help agencies choose the right use cases, build and test models, and put guardrails in place so teams can use AI with confidence. We modernize the systems that hold agencies back, delivering secure, scalable AI solutions that drive outcomes, system performance, efficiency, and mission success. 

Come meet the Abt team to talk through responsible adoption, workforce readiness, and modernization that supports AI at scale.
