  • Leading Through AI: What's Next for State Government

    Leading Through AI: What's Next for State Government
    Aug 27 2026
    Artificial intelligence has become a practical tool for improving operations and serving citizens more effectively. In this episode of Real | State, Lindsey Gray sits down with Doug Robinson, Executive Director of NASCIO, to explore how states are moving beyond AI experimentation and into enterprise adoption. They discuss the governance, workforce, privacy, and cybersecurity foundations needed for responsible AI, emerging use cases from fraud detection to citizen services, and why agentic AI could become the next major transformation for state government.

    In this episode:

    What is the biggest opportunity for AI in state government?

    According to NASCIO Executive Director Doug Robinson, AI's greatest long-term opportunity is improving citizen services while increasing operational efficiency. States are already using AI for document generation, chatbots, cybersecurity, fraud detection, and case management, with future applications expected to transform how residents interact with government.

    How are states using artificial intelligence today?

    Most states have moved beyond pilot programs and now have AI tools in production. Common uses include Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and other commercial AI solutions that improve employee productivity, automate document preparation, enhance customer service, strengthen cybersecurity, and support fraud prevention.

    What are the biggest challenges states face when adopting AI?

    Successful AI adoption depends on strong governance, high-quality data, workforce training, and public trust. State leaders are balancing innovation with responsible risk management while developing policies around privacy, ethics, transparency, and security.

    What is agentic AI and why does it matter for government?

    Agentic AI represents the next generation of artificial intelligence, capable of completing complex tasks by navigating business rules and workflows with greater autonomy. State CIOs believe it will become one of the most impactful technologies over the next several years, particularly for improving citizen services and streamlining government operations.

    How can states adopt AI responsibly?

    Doug Robinson emphasizes that responsible AI starts with governance. States should establish clear policies, involve privacy and cybersecurity leaders, train employees on ethical AI use, protect sensitive citizen data, and continuously evaluate AI systems as the technology evolves.
