Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
State governments are rapidly adopting generative AI tools for public workers, with 82% of state CIO organizations using them daily by late 2024, up from 53% a year earlier. However, governance and oversight have not kept pace — only 24% of states have data governance for generative AI. States like New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Colorado, and California have launched AI programs with varying procurement approaches, but most lack public transparency about their governance rules. The article argues that AI rollouts are outpacing the development of necessary oversight frameworks.
