Annual Report 2025

GovAI's Annual Report contains useful information about our team, programs, and activities in 2025.

GovAI was founded ten years ago, based on a premise that was speculative at the time. We believed that, in the coming decades, progress in AI was likely to transform the world. Writing at the start of 2026, the key question is no longer whether AI will transform the world, but what decision-makers can do to positively shape this transformation as it unfolds. Responding to the unfolding transformation, 2025 was our most productive research year yet, and an important step forward for our talent programs.

As 2026 brings new AI capabilities and new shifts in the world, we expect demand for our work to continue to grow. Beyond simply extending our work, a few key themes will be building up a larger on- the-ground presence in DC, adapting our talent programs to support career paths other than research and policy work, and launching new research workstreams to broaden our expertise and expand the ways we can be useful to decision-makers.
