IT, AI, and Finance: What Government Leaders Need to Know About Risk, Reality and Results

AI is showing up fast in government, and not just in IT. It’s reshaping how agencies manage budgets, oversee procurement and administer grants — streamlining tasks like grant research, RFP development and budget documentation while giving lean finance teams more capacity to focus on oversight and decision-making.

But for many leaders, the real question isn’t what AI can do. It’s whether it can be trusted, governed and adopted without creating new risks, especially in areas tied to public funds, compliance and audit exposure. IT leaders are increasingly at the center of that responsibility, working alongside finance and program leaders to ensure these tools are secure, transparent and aligned with agency priorities.

This panel-style discussion brings together public sector experts to answer questions about the real concerns agencies are facing right now, from data privacy and transparency to workforce impact and adoption challenges. You’ll hear how organizations are applying AI in practical terms across finance and administrative functions: where it delivers value, where it introduces risk, and how IT and finance teams are working together to manage both.
