\"Tech Force\" initiative offered a glimpse inside the White House\u2019s push to place AI engineers inside federal agencies and overhaul how the federal government uses technology.<\/p>\n\n \n\n<p>\"This is a public-private partnership where we're going to bring a thousand great engineers into government to help us complete the modernization that is so important to our American people and so important to making sure that technology is a first-class citizen inside of government,\" Scott Kupor, Office of Personnel Management director, said Tuesday on \"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/shows\/varney-co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Varney &amp; Co.<\/a>\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With help from companies such as Microsoft, Palantir, Salesforce and Snowflake, Kupor said the initiative is designed to embed engineers across major federal agencies rather than centralizing them in a single office, allowing technologists to work directly on modernization efforts at departments including the Treasury Department, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of War.<\/p>\n\n \n\n<p><a
