State and local governments are embracing AI at different speeds and with varying levels of maturity. Massachusetts, for example, has implemented ChatGPT across its entire state government workforce, providing training in its use, outreach and engagement to answer workers’ questions, while making its use voluntary.
State government employees across the country are using AI for numerous applications, without going as far as Massachusetts. Many are using AI to search complex state policies and procedures quickly. Some agencies are using it for communications support, such as drafting high-volume resident replies and translating public announcements.
Learning Objectives:
- Review where your agency is in its use of AI and whether there are areas that need strengthening in order to expand AI functionality
- Identify metrics that apply to improved performance through the use of AI tools
- Outline specific steps you can take to help your agency expand the use of AI to improve outcomes that meet your mission requirements

Governing in collaboration with the Center for Digital Government is hosting our first City Manager Innovation Summit in Pasadena, California. The Summit will bring together a group of city managers and members of their executive leadership teams—including deputy and assistant City Managers, CFOs, CTOs, chief innovation and performance officers, and other trusted C-suite advisors. The Summit is designed to foster candid dialogue, practical exchange, and peer-to-peer collaboration among leaders who are driving modernization efforts in their cities.
City managers are operating at a pace of change unlike anything in the past. Tight budgets, workforce constraints, and rising constituent expectations are forcing cities to do more with less—while maintaining trust and delivering high-quality services. To meet these demands, city leaders must strengthen policy decisions and operational performance and find new efficiencies to modernize long-standing processes. Technology—including AI, data-driven systems, and decision-support tools—can play a critical role in enabling that progress. City managers may not be technology experts, yet they are accountable for aligning policy, operations, and technology to move their cities forward.
The Summit is an opportunity for our Industry partners to participate as thought leaders to engage with city executives and sharing expertise to contribute to solution-oriented discussions. The goal of the Summit is to help shape actionable strategies, inform best practices, and support smarter, more secure technology decisions across cities nationwide.
This is an invitation only event.

For years, government modernization efforts focused on upgrading legacy systems and moving services online. Today, the conversation is broader.
Agencies are being asked to modernize not just their technology, but also their operations, workforce, data strategies, cybersecurity practices, and service delivery models. At the same time, new federal priorities around efficiency, AI adoption, and customer experience are raising expectations for what modernization can achieve.
Join GovLoop online on Wednesday, Sept. 23, from 12-3 p.m. ET/9 a.m.-12 p.m. PT to explore the new pillars of modernization shaping government today. Through keynotes, case studies, and expert discussions, you'll hear how public-sector leaders are building more resilient, agile, and mission-focused organizations — and the strategies they are using to turn modernization goals into measurable outcomes.
You'll learn:
- How agencies are redefining modernization beyond technology upgrades.
- Where AI, automation, data, and cybersecurity fit into today's modernization strategies.
- How leaders are improving efficiency while strengthening mission delivery.
- Practical approaches for building a more agile and future-ready government.
As agencies face growing demands to do more with less, improve service delivery, and meet new efficiency mandates, many are rethinking the processes that slow work down. From outdated workflows and siloed systems to manual approvals and duplicative tasks, operational friction can stand in the way of mission success.
Join us online Wednesday, Sept. 30, from 2-2:50 p.m. ET/11-11:50 a.m. PT to explore how government leaders are streamlining operations, modernizing workflows, and building more agile organizations.
