Welcome to Federal Credit Fridays! The U.S. government is one of the largest lenders and credit guarantors on earth. Its portfolio is estimated at over $3.6 trillion, as measured by loan assets and the face value of loan guarantees. The government uses credit for a wide variety of policy missions, including housing, higher education, small businesses, rural and urban economic development, infrastructure, and export promotion, among others. This podcast will familiarize you with the vast world of federal credit, and we hope that you’ll learn about similarities and differences between these programs as well as the importance of their work to achieving policy missions within the framework of public-private collaboration.
In the latest episode of Federal Credit Fridays, we sit down with Dr. Ian McCulloh—AI expert and new member of Summit’s Advisory Board—to explore how emerging technologies can strengthen public programs. From his experience leading AI efforts at Accenture to his excitement about the mission-driven work in the federal credit space, Dr. McCulloh offers a compelling vision of how grounded, purpose-built AI can drive real outcomes for citizens.
Whether you’re a policymaker, data scientist, or just curious about the future of government innovation, this episode offers fresh insight into the power of partnership, smart technology, and public good.
