AI holds incredible potential for state and local governments — from expanding access to public programs to personalizing services based on the needs of individuals and families. But innovating citizen experiences with AI requires preparation. For example, data quality, accessibility and ownership must first be solidified, along with security guardrails. Join WWT experts John Evans, Chief Technology Advisor, and Mark Whitworth, Principal Advisor, as they discuss how state and local technology leaders can focus both on preparation and innovation for AI success.

State and local CISOs find themselves holding multiple truths. On the one hand, they must guard against sophisticated cyber threats — think AI-powered deepfakes and metamorphic malware. On the other hand, most attacks still occur because of gaps in basic cyber practices. CISOs must ensure agencies aren't using unsanctioned AI applications, but they also must be seen as AI enablers, not blockers. Join WWT experts and former state CISOs John Evans, Chief Technology Advisor, and Steve Meyer, Senior Consulting Security Architect, as they explore how CISOs can shine in a landscape characterized by basics and breakthroughs.
