DOT AI Strategy (Part I Use Case Alignment, Part II Maturity Assessment, Part III M-25-21 Compliance Plan)

Summary

The Department of Transportation's three-part AI strategy, posted October 3, 2025: Part I, AI Use Case Strategic Alignment, maps AI capabilities to DOT's four draft strategic goals (safety, infrastructure, innovation, efficiency) for the FY2026-2030 strategic plan; Part II, an AI maturity assessment and roadmap; and Part III, DOT's compliance plan for OMB Memorandum M-25-21. DOT's work covers safe integration of AI in transportation (automated driving systems, unmanned and conventional aircraft, traffic management) and AI tools in its own operations (generative AI, natural language processing, computer vision, predictive analytics). DOT's web pages now use 'super intelligence (SI)' in place of 'AI'.
