As state and local governments adapt to new Trump administration policies and priorities, IT leaders must continue to modernize operations, boost efficiency, and manage risk—all while aligning with new budget priorities and accountability standards. Navigating the Transition, a webinar series from Government Technology, helps decision-makers decode policy shifts, explore emerging technologies, and gain expert insights on what’s next.

Join Government Technology and Filevine for the latest installment in the series—an in-depth discussion on AI and its impact on state and local government.

AI holds massive potential for government operations, but many agencies struggle with where to start—or how to integrate it into existing systems. One key factor often goes overlooked: AI is only as effective as the data and cloud infrastructure supporting it. Without the right foundation, agencies risk inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and missed opportunities.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • AI’s Real-World Applications: How agencies are using AI to automate paperwork, extract and analyze data, and generate insights to support decision-making.
  • The AI Tech Stack Explained: The key components that impact AI performance—and what to consider when evaluating vendors and tools.
  • Security and Compliance Risks: What government leaders need to know about AI security, data privacy, and how to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
