AI inventory

Keeping American small businesses at the forefront of AI innovation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a tool that can drive the growth of the United States economy and improve the quality of life of all Americans. The United States has long been at the forefront of AI innovation, driven by the strength of our free markets, world-class research institutions, and entrepreneurial spirit. Executive Order (EO) 14179, Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence, directs federal agencies to develop and submit to the President an action plan to sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security.

In support of the Office of Management and Budget Memorandum M-25-21, SBA has compiled a full AI use case inventory, as well as a consolidated AI use case inventory, which contains estimated license counts across SBA-wide use case categories.
