Rather than focusing on theoretical potential, this paper addresses the misconceptions that often stand in the way of meaningful adoption — and outlines a more grounded, strategic path.
For state and local leaders navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape, this guide offers actionable direction — helping agencies move beyond uncertainty and toward responsible, results-driven AI adoption that strengthens operations and improves service to constituents.
