Government agencies are under pressure to modernize with AI while maintaining strict security, privacy, and compliance standards. This session focuses on how government leaders can responsibly adopt AI to improve constituent services, streamline operations, and enhance decision-making without exposing sensitive data. We will explore high value AI use cases in areas such as case management, constituent support, and agency productivity along with the key risks around data exposure, residency, and third‑party tools. The session will outline practical strategies grounded in zero trust principles, including strong identity and access controls, data governance, and secure integrations with existing systems and cloud environments.
