Built to Scale: How State and Local Agencies Can Operationalize AI with Confidence
AI is quickly becoming a strategic differentiator for agencies looking to meet mission goals faster, deliver better service and make smarter use of limited resources. The pressure to "do something with AI" is real — but what that looks like in practice varies widely. From data privacy to governance to infrastructure, many leaders are still sorting out how to align new AI capabilities with old realities.
This practical session will spotlight the foundational steps public sector IT leaders should take to operationalize AI responsibly, with real examples of what’s working on the ground. You’ll hear how a secure, hybrid infrastructure model can accelerate AI adoption, ensure compliance and support scalable use cases across the enterprise. Whether you’re exploring GenAI, automating core services or just trying to figure out where to start, this webinar will give you a clear, realistic roadmap.
You’ll learn:
- Why a hybrid infrastructure is essential for public sector AI — and how to make it work
- How AI can support accessibility, efficiency and mission outcomes without adding risk
- What a governance-first approach looks like and why it matters more than ever
