About AITalks

As large-scale generative and agentic AI systems have moved from experimentation to operational deployment, artificial intelligence has become a defining priority for federal agency leaders and U.S. policymakers alike. AI is no longer a future capability — it is actively reshaping how government delivers services, manages risk, and advances its core missions. The United States now sits at a pivotal moment: competing not only to adopt AI at scale, but to define the rules, norms, and governance frameworks that will shape its global use. And under the Trump administration, federal focus has sharpened on sustaining and extending American leadership in AI to promote economic competitiveness, government effectiveness, and national security — while ensuring these systems are deployed responsibly and in service of the public good. Register today for AITalks, the nation's premier event where top government leaders, tech innovators, and industry experts converge to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in the public sector space. During the day-long event, you’ll hear about cutting-edge AI applications revolutionizing government operations — from cybersecurity to citizen services — as well as practical insights on building a culture of AI adoption and overcoming implementation challenges. You'll also learn how federal agencies are mitigating the unfolding risks associated with the nascent technology, and what they're anticipating in the years to come.
