From the document: "State and local governments face increasing—and increasingly complex—economic and social problems that require more agile decisionmaking with less certainty than ever before, as RAND describes in its Social and Economic Policy Rethink Initiative. However, there may be new solutions that can support government officials as they face the future.
AI technology is rapidly advancing, offering new capabilities for processing vast amounts of information and relief from administrative tasks burdening a shrinking public sector workforce. State and local policymakers lack systematic approaches to government AI integration. Efforts remain fragmented, leaving practitioners struggling with AI's evolving governance applications. In 2024, 150 state bills on the government use of AI were considered, 10 governors issued AI study orders, yet only 10 legislatures required comprehensive AI inventories. AI adoption carries risks requiring careful management and adaptive governance frameworks for these dynamic technologies."
