OCTO has led the charge to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) in DC government under the leadership of Mayor Muriel Bowser and her February 2024 Mayor’s Order Defining DC’s AI Values and AI Strategic Benchmarks.

Since then, OCTO has created the Handbook for AI Values Alignment -- the blueprint that guides agencies through the careful consideration of AI tools against the District’s six AI values, chief among them clear benefits to residents.

In sync with pioneering innovations to positively impact the DC residents and agencies, OCTO has released a new AI tool for DC government.

This new AI tool -- Procurement AI -- was created in partnership with the generative AI platform – Morfius.

We are excited to have Morfius AI Vice President of Business Development, Tabassum Jahangir, to discuss this new AI tool.

We are also joined by OCTO's Chief Operating Officer Tehsin Faruk and OCTO’s Chief Data Officer Matt Sokol.
