This session will examine how state and local leaders are using AI to modernize the delivery of public health and benefits programs. Speakers will share how they are reducing backlogs, accelerating approvals, and strengthening program integrity. The conversation will also address how agencies are ensuring responsible use of AI while maintaining accountability and trust.
