The Center for Public Sector AI (CPSAI) and the Center for Digital Government are excited to build on our Artificial Intelligence (AI) Summit for state and local government! We are convening state and local government CIOs and AI Leaders along with our private sector partners.
The explosion of artificial intelligence is transforming government operations. As government grapples with how to harness AI’s benefits while minimizing its risks, CIOs need to build trust across multiple stakeholders; navigate ethical, security and privacy concerns; upskill staff to deliver with new technologies; and change long-held processes and practices.
The Summit is an action-packed opportunity to engage with AI Leaders who are leading the way in leveraging AI as a strategic asset at the state, local, department and agency levels. The goal of the Summit is to create a friendly and engaging environment to build and foster relationships with your peers and the private sector thought leaders.
