+description: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is advancing its efforts
+  to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) within the federal workforce by
+  launching a survey targeting federal employees engaged in AI-related tasks.
+  This initiative is part of a broader strategy mandated by the 2020 AI in
+  Government Act and President Biden's 2023 executive order, which aim to
+  identify essential skills for federal AI roles and ensure AI's safe and secure
+  use across agencies. Following the identification of 43 general and 14
+  technical competencies necessary for AI work, OPM seeks to validate these
+  competencies through the AI job analysis survey. The survey will involve
+  employees from various departments, including the Office of Science and
+  Technology Policy and chief information and data officers. The outcome will
+  contribute to developing an AI competency model, potentially leading to the
+  revision or creation of job series to include AI skills, and help forecast AI
+  job needs in the federal government. This model aims to enhance the
+  recruitment, development, and promotion of AI talent, aligning with agencies'
+  missions and strategic goals.
