We delve into the core concepts of AI technology, exploring its various applications within the government sector. Practical examples highlight how AI is already utilized to address real-world challenges municipalities and state agencies face.

Ultimately, this primer equips state and local governments with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the evolving world of AI. By fostering a comprehensive understanding of this powerful technology, governments can harness its potential to build a more efficient, responsive, and citizen-centric future.

This book was written carefully to ensure the latest was incorporated before going to press.
