Just months in the making, the city’s new facility includes an advanced public safety hub with real-time video analytics and artificial intelligence-enabled surveillance to respond to incidents, and guide future strategy.

Intended as a low-risk way to test drive generative artificial intelligence, the platform allows teachers to create content, set up AI-based classroom activities and view dashboards that track student progress.

Before students can become competent at editing and refining writing produced by generative artificial intelligence, they need to learn how to write clearly and convincingly as themselves. To do that, they need practice.

When design processes are inclusive, AI can be a tool to further government's accessibility goals. Here, two state accessibility officers offer their takes on where the potential lies and what to avoid.

Not all pilots of artificial intelligence succeed, but a new report discussed at the recent NASCIO conference says that failure can produce rewards. So can stronger data systems and more organization.

An English professor from Kennesaw State University argues that intentional use of artificial intelligence, as opposed to passively or reflexively accepting its outputs, can enhance the writing process.

An attempt to revive a moribund plan to slow the state’s first-in-the-nation artificial intelligence regulations from taking effect failed. The rules should take effect early next year, barring a special session.

A paper authored by teams at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University examines the role of local governments’ procurement processes in advancing artificial intelligence adoption.

Gov. Ned Lamont and the state’s Republicans have opposed the law, saying they do not want to stifle an emerging industry that can create jobs and economic opportunities in Connecticut.

The U.S. needs a national plan to compete with China for dominance of the next generation of world-changing technology, and the education sector needs different degrees of oversight and objectives than commercial AI.

The 20-building campus, at an undisclosed location, is planned by developer T5 Data Centers. Its fourth project in the state, this endeavor would be its largest and is estimated to require 1.2 gigawatts of power.

Governments around the world — including the U.S., UK and Australia — are increasingly recognizing the transformative power of artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) in public service delivery. According to a new white paper from Granicus, a leading global provider of customer experience technologies and services for government, AI/ML can revolutionize how public services are delivered, enabling intuitive, accessible and tailored interactions without the need for citizens to navigate complex bureaucratic structures.

Driven by the largest donation in the university's history, the Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Computing will focus on the intersection of AI and cybersecurity and meeting workforce needs.

Some schools in Connecticut are at the forefront of embracing artificial intelligence, as the state launched a pilot program this year in half a dozen districts to help introduce state-approved AI tools to classrooms.

At a hearing for Pennsylvania lawmakers last month, elected officials and local business leaders discussed the challenges Pittsburgh faces in attracting AI to the region — but also highlighted its advantages.

A website from the nonprofit Opportunity Labs went live this week with a K-12 deepfake policy framework, incident response guide and the start of a platform for state education leaders to collaborate on guidance.

The system’s security chief says he's working to set up a system to detect potential crimes in the subway, improving police response and, ideally, reducing danger for riders. It’s the latest use of AI on mass transit.
