US Government preps AI.gov launch to roll out AI across federal agencies
The US General Services Administration (GSA) and its Technology Transformation Services (TTS) group are gearing up to launch AI.gov on July 4. A GitHub repo detailing the project was spotted — then swiftly taken down.
AI.gov will act as a central hub for federal agencies to plug AI into their workflows. The project will feature three main parts: a chatbot, an “all-in-one API” linking agencies to AI models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and others, plus a “CONSOLE” tool for real-time monitoring of AI usage across agencies. 
Thomas Shedd, TTS chief and former Tesla software integration manager, is leading the AI-first push. Shedd reportedly wants the GSA to run like a startup, automating much federal work.
The API docs reveal use of Amazon Bedrock to serve fed-certified AI models. But a non-FedRAMP Cohere model shows up too, raising questions over compliance.
GitHub also mentions future AI model rankings, though details remain unclear.
This launch comes amid growing federal AI adoption calls. Experts warn rapid rollout risks exposing sensitive citizen data and increasing security vulnerabilities.
We reached out to Shedd and GSA staffers but got no response before the repo vanished.
Screenshots and archive links from the pulled GitHub page show launch plans and model details:
No official word yet, but July 4 is the target date for the government’s AI push.
