One algorithmic bias complaint can halt your department for months. Six weeks will future-proof your city's AI initiatives.

The Challenge

AI is rapidly transforming city operations—from predictive policing and permitting automation to citizen chatbots and benefits processing. But without ethical guardrails, biased algorithms, privacy breaches, and public backlash can erode trust and trigger oversight investigations.

Our Solution

Through guided discussions, real-world municipal case studies, and practical exercises, you'll learn to integrate AI tools that save time, enhance equity, and elevate public service—while staying compliant with FOIA, open data laws, and public scrutiny.
