At the core of the AI revolution is data. Data train machine learning models and shape the outputs of AI systems in ways that directly impact human lives. To build safe and effective AI systems, the data that feed AI must be high-quality and reliable. Considering AI through a data policy lens offers an opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to safe, secure, and trustworthy AI use in government. 

AI capabilities present tremendous opportunities for driving innovation, spur economic growth, and developing solutions to support social challenges. AI technologies also present complex challenges and questions for policymakers to address to ensure AI tools are responsible and trustworthy.
