Artificial intelligence holds immense promise — but complex cloud infrastructure, unpredictable costs and strict data privacy requirements often stand in the way.

Join experts from HP and AMD for a timely discussion on how public sector leaders can take advantage of localized AI solutions that are secure, compliant and budget-friendly. We’ll explore how small language models, model distillation and edge computing are reshaping AI development — allowing organizations to build powerful, specialized AI tools without relying on costly cloud environments.

Join the conversation to learn more about:

  • The practical benefits of localized AI deployments
  • Real-world examples of AI model distillation and retrieval-augmented generation
  • Why AI experimentation is critical now — and how to do it safely and affordably

If you’re navigating AI strategy for government or education organizations, this session will provide practical insights and tools to help you lead with confidence. Sign up today.
