en.Wedoany.com Reported - A recent report from the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) shows a significant increase in artificial intelligence use cases across U.S. federal health agencies between fiscal years 2024 and 2025, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) experiencing a 148% year-over-year growth.
Within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) system, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) saw an 87% increase in AI use cases, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rose by 78%, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) increased by 51%. Researchers reached these conclusions after analyzing the "HHS AI Use Case Inventory."
In fiscal year 2025, AI use cases across all HHS sub-agencies showed an upward trend. The report notes that some of the growth may reflect new reporting requirements rather than an actual increase in deployment. The CDC experienced the largest relative growth, while the NIH maintained the highest total number of AI use cases.
Researchers categorized the development stages of AI use cases at the NIH, CDC, CMS, and FDA, revealing that most cases remain in the pre-deployment phase, indicating further room for growth. Specific data for each agency is as follows: NIH—pre-deployment 35%, pilot 21%, deployed 48%, retired 20%; CDC—pre-deployment 29%, pilot 31%, deployed 35%, retired 8%; CMS—pre-deployment 40%, pilot 14%, deployed 16%, retired 3%; FDA—pre-deployment 13%, pilot 12%, deployed 42%, retired 0%.
The report indicates that generative AI solutions and natural language processing are the most commonly used technological tools across these four agencies.
The growth in AI usage aligns with broader policy goals to accelerate the adoption of AI in the federal government. The report cites a January 2025 executive order directing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue guidance on AI deployment by federal agencies. In September 2025, HHS rolled out ChatGPT to all employees. The CDC became the first federal agency to deploy an internal generative AI chatbot for all staff, and the FDA recently expanded the capabilities of its internal AI tool, Elsa.
During a BPC event, CMS leadership outlined the agency's 2026–2031 strategic framework, positioning itself as an "AI-first" organization and planning to train thousands of employees in AI use.
At the end of March, the Trump administration unveiled a legislative framework for a single national AI policy, aiming to establish safeguards and prevent individual states from enacting their own laws. On June 2, Trump signed an executive order to strengthen AI cybersecurity in government systems. Titled "Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security," the order requires agencies to implement objectives within 30 to 60 days. The order addresses the healthcare sector, expanding protections for rural hospitals and other critical infrastructure.
