To ensure the effective, ethical, and responsible use of emerging technologies across the Federal government, their integration requires a focus on Emerging Technology Literacy (ETL) approaches that incorporate equity considerations. This paper introduces the Collaboration, Access, Impact, Resilience, Security (CAIRS) framework as a tool to assess whether equity and open innovation considerations are incorporated in ETL approaches. By prioritizing increased access and flexible utilization by public servants, Federal agencies can accelerate the achievement of the U.S. government's most critical objectives.
