The AI–Ready Public Sector
Unlocking Your Organization’s Data, Analytics, and Platform Potential
State and local agencies can find effective solutions by identifying their goals first. In this Q&A, Keith Bauer, director of data and AI for state and local government at Microsoft, shares advice on how to get started.
Data underpins so much of the work governments do. Too often, agencies take a reactive approach to how they manage and deploy data. As the public sector looks to integrate emerging technologies like cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, agencies will need to establish a solid foundation to be more digitally enabled and data-driven.
To make the most of emerging innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), state and local governments must first make sure they have a proper foundation in place. That means assessing their readiness across four areas: data quality, cybersecurity, funding and implementation.
The recent influx of federal aid has offered a tremendous opportunity for state and local governments to advance IT and accelerate technology modernization. As new federal funding streams begin to be deployed — like the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) — state and local governments will also need to develop a framework for applying federal funding and putting it to highest and best use.
