The atmosphere fosters a relaxed and collaborative environment for candid, forward-thinking dialogue on priority issues. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to engage with peers and discuss top-of-mind priorities as well as brainstorm innovative ideas for the safe and effective use of artificial intelligence technologies in government. Join us in Boston, MA - More details to come!

Agentic AI introduces a new approach to artificial intelligence, one where systems act as intelligent agents capable of independently performing tasks, making decisions, and even collaborating with other agents. For government agencies, this means the potential to dramatically enhance how services are delivered. In this introductory session, we’ll break down what agentic AI is, provide examples of how it can streamline processes and improve citizen experiences, and outline practical steps for agencies to prepare for this emerging trend. Learn how to adapt policies, upgrade infrastructure, and develop the expertise needed to embrace a future where AI-driven interactions are not just beneficial but essential.

Join us for our next AI Council meeting featuring Chris Kraft, an influential expert who is deeply attuned to the latest generative AI trends from federal agencies down to state and local governments.
