Mission
AITO's mission is to accelerate the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to support the Department of Energy's (DOE) missions in energy, environmental stewardship, and national security. It aims to lead in AI innovation, ensuring responsible and ethical use of AI across DOE's activities.
Services

AI Research; AI Strategy Development; AI Implementation; Partnership Facilitation

Regulations

Office of Artificial Intelligence and Technology (AITO) was an initiative by the U.S. Department of Energy to centralize and advance AI and machine learning capabilities within DOE's vast research, energy, and security portfolios. AITO was tasked with harnessing AI to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of DOE's missions, from clean energy solutions to national security.

Mission

The mission of AITO was to accelerate the use of AI technologies across DOE's operations, fostering innovation in energy, science, and security. It aimed to leverage AI for improving energy efficiency, advancing scientific discovery, ensuring grid resilience, and supporting nuclear security while promoting ethical AI practices[1].

Parent organization

AITO was part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), serving as a hub for AI integration across DOE's various programs and labs[2].

Legislation

AITO was established through an executive announcement rather than specific legislation, aligning with broader federal AI initiatives.

Partners

  • DOE's national laboratories for AI research and application.
  • Private sector and academic institutions for collaborative AI projects.
  • Other federal agencies to coordinate AI strategies.

Number of employees

The exact number of employees in AITO was not specified, but it involved a team dedicated to AI strategy and implementation across DOE.

Organization structure

The structure of AITO included:

Leader

AITO was led by a Director.

Divisions

  • AI Strategy for policy and roadmap development.
  • Research and Development to advance AI technologies for DOE missions.
  • Partnerships for fostering collaborations.

List of programs

  • AI for Energy Systems to optimize energy production and consumption.
  • AI in Scientific Discovery for accelerating research in physics, biology, etc.
  • AI for Cybersecurity to enhance DOE's digital defenses.

Last total enacted budget

Specific budget details for AITO were not publicly detailed in the references provided.

Staff

AITO's staff included AI experts, researchers, policy advisors, and partnership managers, but exact numbers are not documented.

Funding

Funding for AITO would have been part of DOE's broader budget, supporting AI initiatives across the department.

Services provided

AITO provided strategic guidance on AI, developed AI policies, facilitated partnerships, and managed AI projects that supported DOE's objectives in energy, science, and security. It aimed to integrate AI solutions for better data analysis, predictive modeling, and operational efficiencies[3].

Regulations overseen

AITO did not directly oversee regulations but worked within the framework of federal AI policies, promoting responsible AI use in DOE's activities.

Headquarters address

1000 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20585, USA

History

AITO was established to respond to the growing importance of AI in solving complex challenges related to energy and national security. It was part of DOE's commitment to lead in the AI domain, announced by Secretary Rick Perry in 2019. However, AITO's role was later absorbed into other DOE offices following a reorganization in 2023, with AI efforts now being managed by the Office of Science and the Office of the Chief Information Officer[4][5].
