From Automation to Insight: The Evolution of AI in Government IT

As state and local government agencies navigate increasingly complex infrastructure, the promise of AI has shifted from theoretical potential to tangible operational impact. Intelligent AI tools can act as force multipliers for your workforce, turning data into immediate, actionable outcomes.

But how do you cut through all the challenges with AI and data to deliver real-world improvements for your constituents?

In this webinar, we'll explore how AI is reshaping government IT, from today's intelligent human-guided tools to the broader industry conversation around agentic AI. We're joined by Anh Selissen, CIO of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), an agency that used the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to develop an AI-powered chatbot that transforms complex data into natural language insights across all lines of business. By implementing this framework, TxDOT has significantly reduced mean time to detect and mean time to repair, directly improving the reliability of services that constituents depend on every day.

You will learn about:

  • The Power of AI-Driven Insight: Why intelligent, conversational access to data is a critical next step for government efficiency.
  • The Texas Department of Transportation Blueprint: How the agency's use of AI bridges the gap between technical data and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Measuring Success: The metrics that matter most for tracking operational improvements and proving the value of AI to leadership.
  • Scaling the Impact: How this framework will strengthen TxDOT’s security posture — and how to apply these lessons to your own cybersecurity and infrastructure goals.
