Justin Fulcher, a technology founder and former DoD Senior Advisor, argues that AI's primary value in government modernization is reducing institutional drag rather than replacing human judgment. Federal agencies operate on decades-old infrastructure with siloed data and analog-era compliance workflows. Fulcher draws on experience co-founding RingMD and streamlining DoD software procurement timelines from years to months to advocate for AI tools that integrate cleanly into existing workflows. Key implementation challenges include auditability, explainability, legacy system integration, and earning workforce trust. The emphasis is on durable, friction-reducing deployment over rapid transformation.
