AI is no longer a future consideration for government—it’s already changing how agencies deliver services, automate workflows, and extract value from data. But with that opportunity comes complexity. As public sector teams explore AI-powered development, they’re facing new challenges around scale, transparency, and operational accountability.

Join Government Technology and Tricentis for a live webinar on how AI is reshaping public sector workflows and what it means for agencies operating in high-stakes, highly regulated environments. We’ll explore the critical role of automated software testing in this evolving landscape, and how it helps teams assess whether the applications they’re deploying are working as intended, at scale, and under pressure.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why automated software testing matters in AI-driven development: Understand how AI-generated code challenges traditional quality checks—and why automated validation is becoming a baseline requirement.
  • What risks AI introduces into public systems: From lack of visibility to unpredictable behavior, learn what to monitor as AI capabilities are integrated into core applications.
  • What private sector trends can reveal about AI’s trajectory: Hear from experts on how enterprise teams are adapting, and what public sector leaders can take away from those early lessons.
