2024 AI and Cyber Summit for Cities and Counties
This Summit will explore the intersection of AI and cyber in local government. The Public Technology Institute - a division of Fusion Learning Partners is presenting the Summit to examine questions on how AI will impact government services and the ongoing need to focus on building a strong and resilient cyber infrastructure.
During this Summit, we will bring together local government officials, the private sector, and academia to focus on AI and Cyber governance and policy issues. We will look at strategies and highlight success stories with the goal of providing attendees with the tools that will guide their organization in this fast-moving space!
Local government officials will share their perspectives on the policy approaches, data management and preparation, use cases, training for staff, and election security from an AI perspective.
The AI and Cyber Summit is designed to be discussion-based and engage the audience as much as possible. It will be presented in-person as well as virtually.
