This week is more of a grab bag, ranging from AI to gubernatorial activity to government workforce.
First, the crew took a look at AI. States began studying AI through a policy and implementation lens back in 2017, oftentimes through special task forces. Since then some states have taken steps to create commissions or committees on the topic, including Vermont.
Next they examined state of the state addresses in a yearly feature that rates governors' speeches on how tech-focused they are. Jed Pressgrove took a closer look at some interesting technology proposals from Idaho Gov. Brad Little.
THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW
The nature of government work, and its workforce, is changing. To answer our questions about how agencies can respond, we invited Teri Takai, vice president of the Center for Digital Government* and former CIO for Michigan, California and the Department of Defense.
