Watch Now
Generative AI is becoming a disruptive force across all industries as it revolutionizes how we interact with machines and automates the creation of images, text, audio and more. The impact on state and local government operations will likely be profound as more use cases emerge. Automated writing assistance, speech recognition, virtual assistance, sentiment analysis, simulation and modeling … the list goes on. However, the technology is not currently well understood and there are understandable questions regarding policy, ethics and process.
This two-hour virtual summit will feature rapid roundtables and Q and As with current state and local government leaders and industry subject matter experts. These sessions will explain AI's significance and potential impacts on the public sector, including the foundational technologies, data structures, and policies required for its successful implementation.
