About this Event

Get ahead in the government contracting game with John Licato, AI professor at the USF Bellini College of AI, Cybersecurity and Computing. This engaging session reveals how small businesses can use AI to sharpen their competitive edge—from smarter market research to stronger proposals and tighter compliance.

You’ll also learn the common AI pitfalls that can undermine credibility or trigger red flags with evaluators. Walk away with practical, ethical strategies to use AI confidently and effectively, without putting your business or bids at risk.


Agenda
Use AI to Reduce Risk from Inaccurate or Generic Outputs

Info: Avoid relying on general-purpose AI for high-stakes proposal and contract decisions.
Use purpose-built AI systems trained for legal and regulatory language.
Implement human-in-the-loop review to validate AI outputs.


Deploy AI to Identify Hidden Contract Risks Early

Info: Scan solicitations and contracts for unfavorable clauses.
Flag risky terms buried deep in dense language.
Surface cost, liability, or compliance exposures before bidding.


Accelerate RFP and Contract Review Cycles

Info: Extract evaluation criteria automatically.
Reduce manual legal review time.
Meet tight government submission deadlines with greater confidence.


Strengthen Regulatory & Compliance Alignment

Info: Map proposal content directly to FAR/DFARS requirements.
Generate compliance matrices automatically.
Cross-check against agency-specific regulations.
Reduce disqualification risk due to overlooked requirements.


Integrate AI into Existing Proposal Workflows

Info: Use AI within tools teams already use (Word, CLM systems, CRM).
Improve collaboration between BD, legal, and technical teams.
Standardize templates and response structures.
