Chief Data Officer's Annual Report 2024

Published by Office of the Chief Technology Officer | District of Columbia | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-03-05T11:29:00.000Z
The Government of the District of Columbia continues its strategic investment in enterprise data. These investments have proven to be critical in supporting mayoral initiatives, data driven decision making for District Government agency missions, increasing transparency and the more efficient use and sharing of government data. Through the use of both policy and tools, the District Government has been able to work more cohesively to collect, integrate, analyze, and govern its data to deliver valuable services.In 2023, we achieved some great successes with our data programs and continue to provide data as part of the city's effort to enhance and improve digital services to District agencies, residents, and businesses. We focused on growing our data strategy to support the way agencies can utilize data sharing and governance frameworks to guide their projects to successful outcomes. We have been thoughtful about how we approach the use of generative artificial intelligence, balancing the need for guidance on the associated risks of utilizing tools and solutions with this technology against the benefits of how it can improve government services and the lives of residents and businesses. These tools and solutions are often only as good as the underlying data that powers the models behind them and therefore we know high quality data is key to the implementation of effective generative AI. We continue to work towards closing the digital divide through our efforts to promote access and affordable broadband across the city. Our data helped us inform the true landscape of the divide and as a result will provide the city with resources to support those who lack the use of what today is considered a technology of necessity. We have formed new partnerships with District agencies for programs around the city where data becomes the backbone for the successful outcomes of these programs.
