GPO Director Testifies on Improving Agency Workflow and Productivity with Artificial Intelligence
WASHINGTON —The U.S. Government Publishing Office’s (GPO) Director Hugh Nathanial
Halpern on January 24, 2024 testified before the United States Senate Committee on Rules
and Administration about the use of artificial intelligence (AI) at the Agency. The Director
outlined GPO’s vision for the role of AI at the Agency and described several ways the
Agency already uses AI to improve productivity. The Director hopes to use AI to perform
repetitive basic tasks, freeing up teammates to focus on more complex issues and making
roles more enticing to young talent.

“GPO is looking to use AI as an opportunity to augment our team’s capabilities, improve
their performance, and allow them to focus on more difficult problems,” said Director
Halpern. “Through the selective application of these technologies, we can both relieve
pressure on our existing team to perform repetitive basic tasks and at the same time make
some of these roles more attractive to the next generation of teammates.”
Director Halpern noted the following potential applications of AI and large language
models at GPO:
**Acquisitions** – Increase the accuracy of GPO procurements and free up contract
    specialists to focus on more complex issues
    **Employee Communications** – Assist in writing headlines in routine
    communications with teammates
    **Cybersecurity** – Recognize cyberattacks in real time
    **Process Automation** – Allow GPO to get important information to decision makers
    in time for it to be actionable
    **Quality Assurance Image Analysis** – Automatically reject pages for passports that
    do not meet GPO’s quality specifications; digital inkjet presses include error
    checking functions
    **Proofreaders** – Correct common copyediting issues by understanding errors in
    context and learn as proofreaders correct copy, increasing proofreader
    productivity
    **Cataloging** – Assist librarians in cataloging Government information materials
    **Screening for PII** – Scan documents for PII such as social security numbers
    **Providing Alternative Views of Government Information** – Display information
    in more accessible formatsGPO’s AI Governance Committee is currently under development as is an overall AI
Strategy for the Agency, which will be complete in the next few months.
