Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
The creation of an entirely new Executive department would mean new federal hiring for the Department of Advanced Technology and AI, creating jobs for some workers. At the same time, existing federal employees at other agencies who currently handle AI-related work could see their roles restructured or transferred as the GAO report recommends eliminating duplication across agencies.
“All functions of all officers, employees, and organizational units of the Department are vested in the Secretary.”
