A blog about what it actually takes to bring artificial intelligence into state government, written by someone who’s spent years sitting across the table from the people doing it. Most coverage of this topic swings between breathless hype and easy cynicism about bureaucracy. Neither matches what’s really happening. State CIOs have made AI their top priority for the first time in over a decade, and they’re doing it while managing tight budgets, sensitive data, and decisions that affect real people’s benefits, healthcare, and livelihoods. This blog is for anyone who wants to understand that work honestly — the genuine barriers, the smart people navigating them, and the states quietly figuring out how to move from pilot to production without cutting corners on the public’s trust.
