AI Demo: Using AI to Clone Your Voice
In my latest AI Demo for the Center for Public Sector AI, I demonstrate how you can clone your voice in less than a minute using ElevenLabs, which is one of dozens of new generative AI tools that offer to do the same. Although there are productivity benefits to these types of tools, it is also a good reminder of how easy it is to create a deepfake that can be used in social engineering or phishing campaigns.
Q3 Generative AI Update for State & Local Government
Last week, I gave our Center for Public Sector AI’s Q3 2024 update on the generative AI landscape for state and local government. What was notable for this last quarter is the continued integration of AI into edge devices, as seen through major announcements from Apple, Samsung, and Google. I also discussed some other emerging GenAI issues, like the complexities surrounding open-source AI models, the growing fragmented legislative activity around AI, and the emergence of new embedded generative AI applications that may challenge traditional emerging technology implementation models. Most notably, it is evident that GenAI continues to mature, and state and local governments are transitioning from experimentation to more enterprise implementations and projects. Check out the full briefing in the video below.
AI Demo - IBM watsonx
As part of my work with the Center for Public Sector AI, I have been conducting rapid demos of the major generative AI solutions in market.
For this demo, I am joined by AI Engineer, Anisa Ara, to help unpack IBM’s point-of-view on GenAI and how governance, AI, and data all fit together under the watsonx architecture.

AI Demo - Google Gemini
As part of my work with the Center for Public Sector AI, I have been conducting rapid demos of the major generative AI solutions in market.
In this demo, I unpack Google Gemini and its integration across Google Workspace applications. This is also a great way to see embedded AI in action - as more AI solutions will move from standalone to embedded experiences.
Q2 2024 Generative AI Update for State & Local Government
In this Q2 2024 generative AI update, I explore the latest AI advancements and how they impact the state and local government landscape. I also dig into some new survey results from a landmark study conducted by the Center for Public Sector.
New Research - State & Local Government Generative AI Usage
We are excited to release new benchmark survey results on how state and local government agencies are approaching the use of generative AI. The results show a complete change in overall approach from 2023 to 2024, further illustrated by the statistics below.
In 2023 - 50% of state and local government agencies said they were unlikely to implement Generative AI.
In 2024 - 56% of state and local government agencies are actively exploring potential use cases of Generative AI
