As a nation, we have yet to grasp the full benefits or unwanted effects of artificial intelligence. AI is widely used, but how do we know it's working appropriately? This report identifies key accountability practices—centered around the principles of governance, data, performance, and monitoring—to help federal agencies and others use AI responsibly. For example, the governance principle calls for users to set clear goals and engage with diverse stakeholders. To develop these practices, we held a forum on AI oversight with experts from government, industry, and nonprofits. We also interviewed federal inspector general officials and AI experts.

When discussions arose for a new academic building at the U.S. Army War College, the opportunity was presented to review the 165,000 item collection in our holdings. We reviewed the materials and decided that 65,000 was a more reasonable collection size for our patron audience. This presentation will walk through the marketing, planning, logistics, and more, in regards to this project to remove 100,000 items.
