SAME National AI IGE Project Survey
The SAME National IGE Project on AI in the Federal A/E/C Sector is asking for help with a short survey on how artificial intelligence is being used, tested, or constrained. The IGE Project on AI is developing a federal-focused baseline on adoption to support an upcoming white paper and future discussions, with publication tied to SBC this fall. The survey takes about 8-10 minutes. Please answer at a high level and do not include sensitive, proprietary, classified, export-controlled, or CUI information.
The deadline to submit responses is June 12.
As a thank-you for participating, everyone who completes the survey will receive the aggregate findings and the raw data set if they provide their information at the end of the survey.
Community Mission
The mission of the Infrastructure Readiness (IR) Community of Interest is to enhance the efficient, effective, and sustainable stewardship of federal facilities. We achieve this by connecting Department of Defense and industry leaders with those seeking knowledge in asset management (AM), providing a collaborative platform for sharing resources, technologies, and strategies that support informed decision-making and risk management. Through research, advocacy, and professional development, we address current and future challenges in facility management to ensure long-term success.
Join the SAME Engage FAM NetworkCOI Objectives
- Foster Knowledge Sharing: Provide a platform for Department of Defense and industry leaders to exchange knowledge, resources, and best practices in asset management (AM).
- Promote Collaboration: Facilitate partnerships between industry, government agencies, and FAM thought leaders to address the challenges posed by constrained funding, hybrid workspaces, and extreme weather impacts.
- Expand Learning Opportunities: Offer a variety of forums, including webinars, the FAM Session Track, and the FAM Forum at JETC, for continuous learning and professional development.
- Leverage Cutting-Edge Technologies: Collaborate through the Geospatial Working Group on advanced technologies such as digital surveying, 3D modeling, and site picture generation.
- Support a National Asset Management Mission: Engage in the ongoing national effort to enhance asset management practices and drive innovation across industries.
