Meta<\/a> launched a partnership with the United States government aimed at promoting artificial intelligence adoption.<\/p>\n

The initiative involves the government-wide use of Meta\u2019s Llama<\/a> open-source AI models, \u201cmaking them more accessible to all federal departments and agencies,\u201d according to a Monday (Sept. 22) press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The arrangement is designed to accelerate federal agency access to Meta\u2019s AI models and tools, strengthening the objectives outlined in America\u2019s AI Action Plan<\/a> and supporting government priorities related to AI use.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica is leading on AI, and we want to make sure all Americans see the benefit of AI innovation through better, more efficient public services,\u201d Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> said in the release. \u201cWith Llama, America\u2019s government agencies can better serve people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Llama models will let federal agencies retain \u201cfull control over data processing and storage,\u201d according to the release. The models are publicly available, so technical teams can build, deploy and scale AI applications at a reduced cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration, bringing Meta together with federal agencies to ensure they can access Llama as needed, will strengthen the federal government\u2019s ability to test, adapt and deploy AI while maintaining full control over sensitive data,\u201d the release said.<\/p>\n

Two months ago, the White House released a policy roadmap detailing President Donald Trump\u2019s strategy to sustain U.S. leadership in the global AI race<\/a>, emphasizing deregulation, infrastructure development, stricter export controls and freedom of speech for chatbots.<\/p>\n

The plan calls for AI systems to be built from the ground up with \u201cfreedom of speech\u201d and stick to \u201cAmerican values\u201d instead of being shaped by \u201cideological bias.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, the National Institute of Standards and Technology<\/a> (NIST) was instructed to revise its AI risk management framework to \u201celiminate references to misinformation, diversity, equity and inclusion, and climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the PYMNTS Intelligence report \u201cGeneration AI: Why Gen Z Bets Big and Boomers Hold Back<\/a>\u201d found that millennials<\/a> are using generative AI to capitalize on their working lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cMillennials\u2019 pragmatic embrace of gen AI signals a shift in how the technology is evolving from novelty to utility,\u201d PYMNTS wrote Sept. 12. \u201cTheir usage isn\u2019t just experimental. It\u2019s outcome-driven.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report found that 52% of millennials use generative AI for work, the highest percentage for any age group. Plus, 61% said generative AI helps them accomplish more, faster.<\/p>\n
