Gregory Koval discusses the Department of the Navy’s transition from isolated automation pilots to enterprise-scale, mission-driven execution. He emphasizes a top-down approach leveraging AI, enhanced by a citizen-developer program to foster innovation at the field level. Koval highlights the goal of correcting transactions using AI to achieve a clean audit opinion, as advocated by the Secretary of Defense. He also notes the challenges in implementing AI across the organization but expresses optimism about significant progress in the next 12 to 24 months, particularly in transaction correction and audit improvement.
