The federal government has reported a substantial increase in AI use cases, with over 1,700 applications identified across 37 agencies, more than doubling the previous year's total. These use cases span various categories, including health, mission-enabling tasks, and government services. The Department of Health and Human Services leads with 271 reported cases, showcasing the growing integration of AI in public services.Host Dave Sobel highlights new innovations from companies like Synchro, AppDirect, and MacPaw, which are driving advancements in IT management. Synchro has launched a platform tailored for internal IT departments, enhancing operational efficiency through automation and AI. AppDirect's acquisition of FirstBase aims to streamline IT asset management, while MacPaw introduces CleanMyMac Business to simplify Mac maintenance for small and medium-sized businesses. These developments reflect a trend towards co-managed IT solutions, addressing the unique needs of corporate environments.The episode also covers the launch of the Cyber Trust Mark, a government initiative designed to bolster consumer confidence in smart home devices by ensuring they meet rigorous cybersecurity standards. This mark, akin to the Energy Star label, will be mandatory for federal purchases by 2027 and is expected to influence how IT service providers recommend and support devices. Sobel emphasizes the potential challenges and opportunities this initiative presents for managed service providers (MSPs) as they adapt to new compliance requirements.Finally, Sobel discusses Microsoft's strategic shift away from relying solely on OpenAI models for its Microsoft 365 Copilot system. The company is exploring in-house AI models and third-party options to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. This transition underscores a broader trend where customers prioritize the quality of solutions over the specific AI models used. Sobel concludes by inviting listeners to engage with the show and participate in the ongoing conversation about the future of managed services. Four things to know today 00:00 From Chatbots to Body Scanners: The Government's AI Toolkit is Growing Fast03:42 2025 Systems Management Race: New Tools from Syncro, AppDirect, and MacPaw Drive Innovation07:21 Cyber Trust Mark: The Government's Energy Star for Smart Devices is Here09:51 Who's Driving Microsoft's AI?
