This course is self-paced. For live online or in-person instruction, take AI for Government Leadership and Management course. In addition, this course covers AI in the individual employee performance cycle (plans, ratings, awards). It does not cover AI for agency- or program-level (organizational) performance — see AI for Organizational & Program Performance in Government for that.

Artificial Intelligence is changing how government supervisors and HR professionals set expectations, evaluate results, and reward employees. This interactive self-paced course equips government employees with practical tools to apply AI responsibly across the individual employee performance cycle — performance plans, progress monitoring, ratings, and awards. Using real government examples and hands-on activities aligned to current OPM guidance, participants learn to support fair, transparent, and defensible appraisal decisions.
