Agentic AI Is Coming to Government: The Key Questions Every Policymaker Should Ask

Agentic AI represents a major shift in how technology is used in government. Unlike traditional AI tools that generate information or recommendations, AI agents can take action — reviewing documents, initiating workflows, coordinating tasks and helping deliver services with minimal human intervention.

As states and local governments begin exploring these capabilities, policymakers face a new challenge: How do you govern a digital workforce that can act autonomously while maintaining public trust, accountability and transparency?

Join government leaders and AI experts for a practical discussion of the six questions every elected official should ask before deploying agentic AI. From oversight and governance to public transparency, workforce impacts and cross-agency collaboration, this webinar will provide a framework for evaluating opportunities, managing risks and developing policies that encourage innovation while protecting residents.

Attendees will learn:

• The key differences between generative AI and agentic AI
• Why AI agents require a new approach to governance and oversight
• The six critical questions policymakers should ask before approving agentic AI initiatives
• How leading states and local governments are balancing innovation, risk and public trust
• Practical strategies for creating adaptable policies in a rapidly evolving technology landscape

Whether you are a legislator, mayor, county commissioner, city council member or executive leader, this session will help you prepare for the next phase of AI in government.
