InnovateUS: Planning Workshop with States on Responsible AI (invite only)

This invite-only planning workshop is part of a series of convenings designed to seek broad input into the development of learning opportunities for public professionals in understanding and using AI (including Generative AI), exploring promising and effective practices for responsibly leveraging Generative AI, identifying beneficial use cases to help government serve people equitably and effectively, and learning how to evaluate risks/ethical implications. Additional planning workshops will be held for representatives from federal agencies and for experts and leaders from across relevant industry, universities, institutes, and civic tech organizations. 

During this workshop focused on state government workforces, together we will explore questions such as:

• Promoting Responsible Use of AI: What are general barriers to adoption and responsible use of generative AI and other types of AI by the workforce in your state agency or across your state’s government?
• Roles and Functions Related to AI: What topics are essential to explore through curriculum for public professionals on responsible AI? How might civil servants in your state agency or across your state government best be introduced to these topics? Would curriculum need to vary based on the roles and responsibilities of a given learner–for example, front line workers, managers, and senior executives?
• Key Concepts: What topics are essential to explore through curriculum for public professionals on responsible AI? How might civil servants in your state agency or across your state government best be introduced to these topics? Would curriculum need to vary based on the roles and responsibilities of a given learner–for example, front line workers, managers, and senior executives?
• Access to Learning Opportunities: How might state agencies and their workforces best access learning opportunities about Responsible AI? What training opportunities are already available?
