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.

SAME Strategic Partners – Resilience
I am proud of the Omaha Post, its leadership, and volunteerism. Within three hours of issuing a call we were able to field a group of engineers to support NEMA in the Platte River flood response, and in the coming hours and days were joined by additional engineers and over a dozen more offers of assistance. Importantly, our opportunity to assist highlights the unique role SAME Posts can play in strengthening resilience throughout our communities.
