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.

The US federal landscape is being shaped by tighter fiscal conditions and sharper prioritization, with the Administration’s FY2026 budget proposing deep reductions to non-defense discretionary spend while protecting investments tied to national security, homeland security, veterans, law enforcement, and infrastructure. Agencies must modernize under constraint: retire legacy systems, strengthen cyber resilience, and deploy responsible AI where it improves mission delivery and productivity—accelerating the shift from Government 2.0 silos to Government 3.0 connected, interoperable delivery.

Government Innovation Showcase US Federal helps executives translate these shifting priorities into practical delivery. Across cybersecurity, IT modernization, data and AI, and workforce enablement, the program spotlights what is working across agencies and how leaders can build governance and capability without compromising security, privacy, or accountability. Join peers to align, share approaches, and leave with insights you can apply immediately in the Government 3.0 era.
