The Problem with AI Policies (And How to Fix Them)

Local governments are rushing to draft AI policies—but too often, these policies limit innovation before agencies even understand the potential of AI. Instead of enabling responsible and effective use, many policies create unnecessary roadblocks, slowing progress and missing opportunities to improve services for residents.

In this session, we’ll explore why local governments should try AI before they regulate it and how to create policies that support responsible experimentation while protecting the public interest. Attendees will learn:

  • The risks of restrictive AI policies that hinder progress
  • Why a hands-on approach to AI adoption leads to smarter governance
  • Actionable steps to develop adaptive AI policies that evolve with technology
  • Real-world examples of governments successfully balancing innovation and regulation

AI can be a game-changer for local government—if policies don’t hold it back. Join us to learn how to build AI policies that work for your organization, not against it.

Speakers:

Bret Prebula
City Manager, City of Suisun City, CA

Residents need answers fast, and they shouldn't have to wait on hold to get them.But AI for government isn't just a crisis tool. The same technology that helps a city handle a thousand calls during a storm is the same technology that improves daily operations year-round, answering billing questions, routing service requests, and giving leadership visibility into what residents actually need.
