State and local agencies are looking for innovative solutions to address their financial and other challenges. Dave Cole, NJ’s Chief Innovation Officer, discusses how agencies can use AI and other technology to improve operations and deliver services more efficiently.
Technology should support officers, reduce administrative burden and help keep personnel focused on public safety instead of paperwork.
Government leaders face a dual challenge: the rising threat of AI-driven cyberattacks that call for stronger cyber defense, and DoW’s expanding use of AI. To manage AI securely and effectively, agencies should take seven actions.
In today’s AI-enabled environment, alignment alone is no longer enough to sustain consistent outcomes. Synchronization is the next phase.
A complex IT ecosystem helps ensure that AI models correctly interpret government communications and pass along accurate info about updates, alerts and other public matters. Part of that ecosystem is technology that can attribute what data the AI pulls from what source, and when.
In this video interview, Nintex’s Niranjan Vijayaragavan discusses how agencies can integrate traditional and agentic AI-based automation.
AI is being treated like a tool instead of what it actually is: a capability that should be embedded into how work gets done. The organizations seeing real results aren’t the ones experimenting the most. They’re the ones aligning AI to mission outcomes, operational workflows, and decision-making.
Space systems are rapidly evolving from national assets into globally interconnected critical infrastructure that supports communications, navigation, AI, defense, and other sectors. As this accelerates, so do cybersecurity threats to satellites and orbital infrastructure. Government must begin treating orbital infrastructure as part of the strategic digital backbone of modern civilization.
Legacy technology wasn’t designed for the volume and variety of data that agencies handle today, and AI exacerbates the problem. Certain tactics, however, will help agencies leave their outdated tech behind — so employees can access data when and how they should.
In government, the pressure to move fast on AI technology is real, but so are the risks. But agencies are learning that strong data governance will create a foundation for responsible, transparent, trustworthy AI.
