Description
Generative AI can be a powerful tool for government contractors, especially when drafting proposals, summarizing solicitation requirements, improving resumes, editing technical narratives, and preparing contract deliverables. But when used carelessly, AI “writing help” can create serious GovCon risks, including inaccurate representations to the government, overstated qualifications, misunderstood requirements, proposal language that overcommits your company, and deliverables that include unsupported or hallucinated information.
In this webinar, Chad Ratashak, a former intelligence analyst and current generative AI consultant, will explain where AI writing tools can help contractors and where they can quietly create risk. He will walk through practical examples involving proposal writing, executive summaries, key personnel resumes, requirements summaries, technical documents, and reports prepared for government customers.
What You Will Learn:
- How to identify appropriate and inappropriate uses of AI for proposal writing, editing, and deliverable preparation
- How AI-generated language can change meaning and create unintended commitments
- Practical review steps to reduce hallucinations, factual errors, and misleading summaries
- How to review and edit AI-assisted technical narratives and executive summaries
- When to avoid using AI for firm-fixed-price or high-risk performance commitments
- How to build a safer AI-assisted writing workflow for small business owners, proposal teams, and contract managers
Why It Is Important:
- Avoid submitting proposals that contain inaccurate representations or overstated qualifications.
- Prevent unintended contractual commitments that create performance or financial risk.
- Reduce damage to evaluator credibility and contracting officer trust from factual errors or hallucinations.
- Catch internal notes, draft comments, or sensitive content that AI tools might expose in final documents.
Who This Training Is For:
- Small business government contractors
- Proposal writers and capture managers
- Contract managers and grant writers
- Consultants and attorneys who advise clients on AI use in proposals and deliverables
