California’s Digital Future: Smart, Inclusive, and Citizen-Centric!

California is leading in government innovation by using technology to enhance public services and citizen engagement. The focus is on modernizing data, AI, and IT, and improving digital services and customer experience. The goal is to upgrade government infrastructure for efficiency and accessibility, integrating advanced technologies like AI and big data. Ethical AI and data management are central as California expands its use of these technologies, showing promising results in smarter governance and streamlined processes. Efforts to bridge the digital divide, including high-speed internet access for all households, highlight California’s dedication to an inclusive, future-ready government.

Join us at the Innovation Showcase California to explore insights in ethical AI, data management, modernized infrastructure, citizen-centric digital services, digital inclusion, and inter-agency collaboration. This event will highlight California’s innovative approaches and provide a platform for sharing ideas with peers across the state.
