The Government Technology/Google webinar, "The ABCs of Agentic AI," earlier this year was incredibly well attended – a testament to government’s extreme interest in the next evolution of AI. But now many state and local governments have moved past theoretical discussions. They want practical frameworks, examples and operational guidance to deploy agentic AI at scale – securely, ethically and with measurable public impact.

This webinar will showcase how agencies can operationalize agentic AI in core functions with a clear focus on:

  • Human-in-the-loop AI for accountability and compliance
  • Data readiness and AI governance structures led by emerging roles like Chief AI Officers or CDOs
  • Use of multi-agent architectures in areas like emergency management, licensing or inspections
  • AI’s role in reshaping the constituent experience and internal workflows, especially in resource-constrained departments
