The US Government’s increasing investment in AI represents an unprecedented opportunity for companies willing to align with its strategic priorities. While the road to adoption may vary between agencies, a deep understanding of priorities such as infrastructure, national security, ethics, R&D, and workforce development can set your company up for success in FY25.

In October of 2023, the Biden Administration issued an Executive Order aimed at securing the United States’ leadership in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence while ensuring this technology is used responsibly to protect individual privacy and data. This landmark order sets new standards for AI safety and security, upholds Americans’ privacy, promotes equity and civil rights, safeguards consumers and workers, encourages innovation and competition, and reinforces American leadership on the global stage.

Marion Square is continually researching Government initiatives and programs to identify key opportunities for our clients.  For those organizations that are focused on providing AI algorithms, infrastructure, and services an interesting, potential opportunity for FY 25 is the Dept of Energy’s (DOE) -Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence for Science, Security, and Technology- or FASST initiative.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes an engine driving innovation across industries, its role in the Federal government is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. With FY 2025 federal funding poised to fuel AI initiatives across all agencies, it’s clear that AI has transcended from being a technological trend to a national priority.

Understanding and strategically leveraging this tiered structure will be crucial for companies looking to accelerate their go-to-market (GTM) strategies and secure contracts that matter.
