AI is reshaping how federal agencies deliver on their missions — accelerating routine workflows, improving decision-making, and freeing up staff to focus on higher-value work. From grants management and compliance to data analysis and program operations, AI agents are helping teams move faster without sacrificing transparency, accountability, or trust.
In this three-part series, ICF experts share how agencies can turn AI’s promise into measurable impact. They’ll explore what it takes to scale AI effectively — flexible, open architectures that integrate with existing systems, human-in-the-loop design that ensures responsible oversight, and accelerators that shorten time to value.
Through real-world examples, the series highlights a repeatable path for leaders who want to modernize operations, build workforce capacity, and realize AI’s potential — securely, ethically, and at mission speed.

From Demo to Delivery: How Agencies Are Operationalizing AI
In this episode of MeriTalking, Nicole Burdette sits down with ICF’s Kyle Tuberson to discuss how agencies can go from lab to live, supported by a consistent delivery approach in ICF’s Fathom, which bakes in security, governance, and integration with existing systems. They’ll also address the drivers for AI, from efficiency pressures to practical technology maturity, and the common barriers leaders face, from talent to infrastructure and security.
Beyond the Sandbox: Quickly Turning AI Into Real Impact
MeriTalk recently sat down with Nadim Rizk, federal field chief technology officer at ICF, to discuss how agencies can identify high-impact AI use cases, design automation with builtin guardrails, and scale pilots into production through platforms like ICF Fathom.
