# 2025-Federal-Agency-AI-Use-Case-Inventory
This 2025 Federal Agency Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Case Inventory repository consolidates AI use case inventories from across U.S. Federal agencies, consistent with Section 5 of Executive Order (EO) 13960, “Promoting the Use of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in the Federal Government,” and pursuant to the Advancing American AI Act and OMB Memorandum M-25-21, “Accelerating Federal Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust.” This repository demonstrates American leadership in AI and provides transparency into how Federal agencies are using AI technology to improve their services to the public.

## Overview
Federal agencies, with limited exceptions, are required to conduct annual inventories of their AI use cases and make this information publicly available. Federal agencies are to post a machine-readable CSV of all publicly releasable use cases on their agency’s website. For more information, please review the Reporting Instructions folder for OMB’s guidance to agencies.
Of note, OMB compiled this repository from agencies’ publicly available inventories. A link to each of those agency-hosted inventories is provided in the Data Sourcing Summary file in the Validation folder. For questions about this repository, please contact the maintainers at OFCIO_AI@omb.eop.gov. For agency or use case-specific inquiries, please contact the relevant agency.

## Key Considerations
### Major Changes to Reporting Requirements From 2024 to 2025
- OMB reduced the number of questions to streamline burdensome agency reporting requirements, while maintaining essential data fields to ensure strong public accountability and enable collaboration across government.
- OMB has created a new category of “consolidated reporting” for a limited set of common tasks that rely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products. Given the increased integration of AI into modern software, bifurcating this reporting helps to keep the agency burden low and keep the inventory of individually reported use cases focused on agencies’ transformational and high-impact applications. (A use case that is high-impact is not eligible for reporting in the consolidated format.)
- OMB amended the scope for reporting AI R\&D use cases to better align to OMB Memorandum M-25-21. More information regarding scope is provided in the Exclusion Criteria section below.
- OMB has instructed agencies that “retired” use cases must be reported as such in the inventory immediately following the year in which the retired use case was last operational. After that, retired use cases can be omitted from future year reporting; however, the unique use case identifier must not be repeated.

### Exclusion Criteria
- All reported agency AI use cases, with limited exceptions, are included in this inventory. Note, certain use cases are outside the scope of this data call or are not required to be publicly released. Excluded categories include:
  - AI when it is being used either as a component of a National Security System or within the Intelligence Community;
  - AI when it is being used to carry out basic research or applied research (Agencies must still inventory any use in research where the purpose of such research is to develop particular AI applications for agency use, where the AI is currently being used to control or significantly influence a decision or outcome about individuals, or where the AI has an approved agreement for transition into agency operations.);
  - Department of War use cases; and
  - Use cases whose sharing would be inconsistent with applicable law and governmentwide policy. Where particular details of a use case cannot be shared or released publicly, agencies must only exclude those details, while including any fields that can be shared or released.
- Additionally, agencies may remove use cases reported in prior years’ submissions that no longer meet the inclusion criteria.

## Submissions Schedule
- Agency submissions were due to OMB on December 22, 2025. The agency public reporting deadline was January 28, 2026.
- Updates to this repository will be processed on a rolling basis.
