Trump Administration Launches USAi to Boost Government AI Efficiency
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has introduced USAi, a new platform aimed at helping federal agencies adopt artificial intelligence quickly, securely, and without cost. This tool is part of President Trump’s broader AI Action Plan, launched to maintain America's leadership in artificial intelligence.
USAi offers government users access to capabilities such as chat-based AI, code generation, and document summarization. These features are designed to enhance employee productivity and improve government services while ensuring data security and public trust.
USAi: Infrastructure for AI Adoption in Government
David Shive, GSA’s Chief Information Officer, described USAi as more than just a tool—it’s foundational infrastructure for America’s AI future. By enabling agencies to cut costs and increase efficiency, USAi supports faster modernization and improved service delivery for the public.
Stephen Ehikian, GSA Deputy Administrator, called the tool an "on ramp" for AI adoption in the federal government. He compared its potential impact to the cloud technology rollout, emphasizing that USAi will accelerate AI use across agencies and provide mission-ready tools to improve security and operational speed.
The AI Action Plan: Focused on Workers, Free Speech, and Security
- American Workers: Ensuring AI benefits the workforce and helps create new job opportunities.
- Free Speech: Promoting AI systems that are unbiased and truth-seeking without ideological agendas.
- Technology Protection: Preventing misuse and theft of U.S.-developed AI technologies and monitoring risks.
David Sacks, the administration’s AI and crypto czar, highlighted these pillars as central to the plan’s goal of securing a safer and more equitable AI-driven future.
Expanding AI Access Across Federal Agencies
GSA Commissioner Josh Gruenbaum explained that widespread AI adoption is key to winning the global technology race. USAi is part of the strategy to equip federal employees with tools that make the workforce more agile, efficient, and tech-forward.
This announcement follows recent moves by GSA to integrate AI solutions like OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise and Anthropic’s Claude across government branches. These partnerships aim to modernize government workflows and procurement processes, enhancing productivity and innovation.

Looking Ahead
USAi represents a significant step in the federal government’s AI journey, providing agencies with practical tools to improve operations and maintain U.S. leadership in technology. As the platform rolls out, it will be essential for government workers to engage with these new capabilities to boost efficiency and public service.
