Upcoming Webinar
Are Local Governments Ready for AI, or Is AI Ready for Them?
Artificial intelligence is poised to transform local governments, offering new ways to deliver services and engage with residents. But as this technology evolves, important questions remain: Are governments prepared to adopt AI responsibly, and is AI ready to support both resident-facing applications and internal operations?
In this webinar, prominent thought leaders Jonathan Feldman, CIO of Wake County, NC and Amelia Powers-Gardner, Commissioner of Utah County, UT, will share their insights on the current and future role of AI in local government.
This episode will also explore how governments can use AI to redistribute workloads, not eliminate jobs, to better serve their communities. Attendees will gain actionable insights to drive innovation, manage change, and assess AI’s readiness for the unique challenges of public service.
- Practical AI Applications: Examining AI’s potential in resident-facing services like chatbots and payment systems versus its role in streamlining internal efficiencies.
- Balancing Innovation with Sustainability: Addressing the environmental impact of AI, including the resource demands of data centers.
- The Trust Factor: Why public confidence is key to AI adoption and how transparency can bridge the gap.
This episode is the 7th episode in our 2024 Digital Government Excellence Symposium. If you did not get a chance to join us earlier this fall, catch the entire series on demand.
