Dr. Matthew Graviss
Federal Leadership
Dr. Matthew Graviss has been leading the Department of State’s AI efforts as its top data and AI official for nearly four years. In that capacity, he oversees projects such as the launch of the department’s AI-powered chatbot and its “North Star” tool for analyzing news stories. On a panel with Secretary Antony Blinken earlier this year, Graviss described the department’s philosophy with AI as getting the technology out for people to use it, making sure it’s secure, and letting the best use cases rise to the top. Before the Department of State, Graviss held leadership roles at DHS, including chief data officer of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
