FEDERAL AGENCIES RAMP UP AI HIRING STRATEGIES
Federal agencies are gearing up to dive headfirst into the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) following a groundbreaking executive order from the White House. But with new technology comes new challenges, and that’s where FEDS professional liability insurance (PLI) comes in to protect federal managers.
DIRECT HIRE AUTHORITY APPROVED FOR AI ROLES
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has approved direct hire authority for various federal positions, including IT specialist, computer scientist, and engineer, to streamline the hiring process. While many agencies are still in the planning phase, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already begun an aggressive recruiting campaign to fill 50 AI technology expert positions by 2024.
ATTRACTING APPLICANTS DESPITE PRIVATE SECTOR SALARIES
DHS faces stiff competition from the private sector, which offers higher salaries to AI experts. However, agency officials are banking on their mission and cutting-edge technology to draw candidates in. Managers have their work cut out for them with hiring goals to meet and the challenge of retaining talent.
PROTECT YOURSELF WITH FEDS PLI
With the potential for allegations of mismanagement and other challenges that come with hiring new AI talent, it’s essential for federal managers to have protection. FEDS Protection offers PLI policies with civil liability protection, legal representation coverage, and more starting at just $290 a year.
