May 11

Cutting-edge technology only matters if it gets used. As organizations embrace artificial intelligence and other emerging innovations, it’s important to make sure employees understand the value of AI and data analytics capabilities — and how to put them into practice.

Think of this as a user’s guide for emerging tech.

In recent months, we’ve partnered with Microsoft for a series of conversations on how to get your organization AI-ready, including strategies for managing your data, ensuring cybersecurity and optimizing funding. Now it’s time to put all that strategy into action.

In this webcast, the final part of our series on AI-ready government, we’ll focus on:

How to adopt self-service AI tools at the agency level
How to train staff to use AI tools
How to continue to adapt and evolve to meet future needs
