Government agencies face many challenges, e.g., take advantage of AI and other new tech, do more despite limited resources, overcome legacy IT, close employee skill gaps and strengthen cyber defenses. Dan Cole and Tai Phan, who lead Oklahoma’s new IT strategy, discuss its key elements — and why it may be a model for other… Read more »
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.
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.
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.
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.
Agencies publish an array of documents — decentralized and in different formats — that AI systems often misinterpret when answering resident questions. Standardization and centralization would address the problem, but those can be heavy lifts. A citation registry, however, can change how AI understands government writings.
In this video interview, Darren Williams with BlackFog discusses the risks associated with Shadow AI and how agencies can protect against them.
Public information — about road closures, meeting times, emergency responses, and other concerns — may be accurate, but AI’s interpretation of such communications may not be. Learn about one option to address the problem.
Facing resistance to change in government? Innovation isn’t just about new ideas — it’s about persistence.
