Experts are fearful that passage of appropriations for fiscal 2024 may be an ugly process that results in a hefty continuing resolution. While the CR would keep the government running, it would forbid federal agencies from spending money to start new programs or new activities. a continuing resolution could severely hamstring federal innovation, particularly on the defense side as the Pentagon and military services look to accelerat adoption of emerging tech in anticipation of a potential conflict with peer competiors like China or Russia. That’s according to Meagan Metzger, CEO of Dcode and a general partner with Dcode Capital, both of which focus on helping make the government better through innovative acquisition practices.

Why agencies need to start planning now for ap potential CR

After bringing the government shutdown clock to the very brink of a closure over the weekend, Congress was able to reach a short-term continuing resolution to keep the government funded through Nov. 17. While that’s a better-than-worst-case-scenario outcome, it still has some impacts for the way agencies must operate without full appropriations. And there’s a strong possibility we may be right back in a race against the clock just before Thanksgiving as Congress must reach a funding agreement prior to that Nov. 17 deadline.
 
Meagan Metzger, CEO of Dcode, joins The Daily Scoop Podcast now to discuss the impact.

Meagan Metzger, the founder and CEO of Dcode, joins me now to discuss the status of AI adoption across the federal government, how people are key to it adoption and how things are progressing for agencies and commercial firms that don’t see eye to eye on sharing what’s going on inside an AI algorithm.
