Government at the Speed of Trust

This keynote explores how public institutions can responsibly harness AI and data-driven insights while upholding their fiduciary responsibilities to citizens. Moving beyond ethical principles alone, it examines practical governance approaches that help leaders make decisions that are transparent, proportionate, legally defensible, and aligned with the public interest.

• Responsible AI governance in the public sector
• Data as a strategic asset for decision-making
• Strengthening transparency, accountability, and public trust

SAS walk through what they are working with government using data and AI to help strengthen government integrity, enhance decision-making, and deliver trusted, citizen-centric services while navigating governance, risk, and responsible adoption.

• Leveraging data and AI to detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse
• Strengthening governance, transparency, and accountability through responsible AI adoption
• Using data-driven insights to improve outcomes and build public confidence

This session shows why trust is the operating infrastructure of digital government, and how organizations that build it in early move faster later. Drawing on experience leading enterprise services across over 44 federal departments, Stephanie shares three executive disciplines for sustainable speed, including for AI agents acting on behalf of citizens.

• Engaging early enough that the enterprise path is the easiest one to take
• Sequencing competing priorities with transparent, defensible criteria
• Planning for the day after launch, when projects end and services don’t
