AI with Accountability, Cost Control, and Mission Velocity

Agentic AI is a powerful tool for enhancing mission outcomes and managing increasingly complex data environments. But model structure and balancing autonomy with oversight are key to responsible AI implementation. What do agencies need to know now to prepare for future success?

Today, we speak with a leading voice in federal AI adoption, Red Hat’s Ben Cushing, about the rise of agentic AI. These systems, when used appropriately, are capable of collaborating with humans to drive mission outcomes at unprecedented speed and scale.

We discuss real-world use cases and applications, emerging governance frameworks, lessons learned, and practical tips for agencies moving from experimentation to operational AI in the public sector. 

Today’s guests:

Ben Cushing – Chief Architect, Health and Life Sciences, Red Hat
– Moderator: Susan Sharer, Chief Executive Officer, GOVTECH CONNECTS
