White House announces AI-powered website for delivering government information, services

Two executive orders on artificial intelligence were released Sept. 29 by the White House. One announced a new website that will use AI to deliver federal government information and services. The website, America.gov, is intended to eliminate the need for navigating multiple agency websites, according to a fact sheet. The order directs the Administrator of General Services in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to establish and operate America.gov as the lone entry point for accessing covered services online, such as public-facing federal services that serve more than 100,000 users in a 12-month period and can be accessed or applied for online.

The second executive order announced a rebrand of AI as “super intelligence.” The order and corresponding fact sheet said that the administration will use “super intelligence” and “SI” in place of “artificial intelligence” and “AI” in official correspondence, public communications, websites, reports, policy documents and other non-statutory documents.
