About the HHS Office of the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (OCAIO)

Given the immense potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to aid our mission to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) established an AI Office in March 2021. HHS is aligned with the federal government’s commitment to “maintain American leadership in AI” (Executive Order 13859) – and “promote the use of trustworthy AI” (Executive Order 13960).

The HHS Office of the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (OCAIO) facilitates effective collaboration on AI efforts across HHS agencies and offices.

The primary functions of OCAIO are to:

  • Drive implementation of the HHS AI strategy,
  • Stand up the HHS AI governance structure,
  • Coordinate the HHS response to AI-related federal mandates, and
  • Foster collaboration across HHS agencies and offices.
