Abstract
ACT-IAC Associates 2024 Report to Emerging Technology Community of Interest (ET COI)
Report: Leveraging AI to Modernize Legacy Code in Federal Civilian Agencies
Developed by: Team Emerging Technology: More than Meets AI (ET: MAI)
Released: December 23, 2024
This report discusses the critical need for modernization of federal legacy IT systems, which face numerous challenges due to outdated technologies. With the U.S. government spending a significant portion of its IT budget on maintaining these antiquated systems, this paper highlights how leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) can address these inefficiencies. It outlines AI's potential to enhance IT modernization efforts across federal agencies by automating code translation, improving system security, and reducing operational costs. The document serves as a guide for federal civilian agencies to harness AI tools to overcome the technical and operational challenges posed by legacy systems, ensuring more effective fulfillment of their missions.
