Federal contract notices on SAM.gov by the month they were posted, counted once by the type they were first posted as. Solicitations include combined synopsis/solicitations. Not every federal purchase is posted. AI is read from the words with fixed rules (methodology on the signal). Quarterly averages of the monthly shares.
How much of what agencies put out to bid asks for artificial intelligence, machine learning or language models, by the words in the solicitation itself.
