From AI Hype to AI Value: What State Auditors, Controllers and Treasurers Need to Know

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly rising to the top of the agenda for state governments, but for many finance leaders, the path from experimentation to real impact remains unclear.
While most agencies are exploring AI, relatively few have moved beyond pilots. Questions around data readiness, governance, workforce readiness, and risk continue to shape how AI is adopted in the public sector.
This webinar brings together perspectives from state finance leadership and government technology strategy in a moderated, conversational format designed for practical insight.
Together, we will explore:
• Where state governments really are in their AI journey today.
• Why finance organizations are uniquely positioned to benefit from AI.
• The most promising near-term use cases in areas like reporting, document processing, and risk detection.
• Common pitfalls that cause AI initiatives to stall.
• What successful government AI programs do differently, especially in data, governance, and adoption.
• The discussion will focus on real-world experience, lessons from early efforts, and actionable guidance finance leaders can use to move forward with confidence.
