This led to a backlog due to the individual&#8217;s inability to process the high volume of rules alone.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Development of Sextant Tool<\/strong>: Casey Mulligan, now chief economist and regulatory officer at the Department of Health and Human Services, collaborated with AI to re-develop the analysis tool in HTML and JavaScript, creating &#8220;Sextant.&#8221; This new tool is accessible via a web page and can be used by anyone in the staff to alleviate the bottleneck.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>AI&#8217;s Role in Data Processing<\/strong>: The Office of Advocacy has embraced AI to enhance its data processing capabilities, which helps in generating reports, avoiding syntax errors, and creating documents and reports more efficiently.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Fact-Checking and Interagency Communication<\/strong>: AI tools assist in fact-checking and improving communication between federal agencies by providing accuracy scores, cross-referencing information, and reducing misunderstandings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Enhancing Meeting Management<\/strong>: An AI tool developed in Python helps Mulligan organize and keep track of meetings and priorities by expanding meeting notes and providing searchable databases for easy follow-up on commitments and priorities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Future Plans for AI<\/strong>: The Office of Advocacy aims to implement AI tools across more of its processes, capitalizing on AI&#8217;s data-heavy capabilities to increase overall productivity and streamline workflows.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These points convey the article&#8217;s emphasis on using AI for improving efficiency and processes within government organizations.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI &#038; Data Exchange 2026: Casey Mulligan on driving continual processes improvements https:\/\/federalnewsnetwork.com\/artificial-intelligence\/2026\/05\/ai-data-exchange-2026-casey-mulligan-on-driving-continual-processes-improvements\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":211040,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/federalnewsnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-211039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211039"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211039"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211039\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":211041,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211039\/revisions\/211041"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
