OVERVIEW

Beyond trends to transformation

Adopting artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) isn’t just about keeping pace with the private sector or jumping on the latest tech trend. It’s about setting a new standard for innovation, strengthening public trust, and delivering services that are timely and effective. In the rapidly evolving landscape of public service, integrating AI and ML isn’t a mere option — it’s a strategic necessity and the responsibility of every civic leader.

AI accountability in action

We support this doctrine through multiple AI/ML Customer Advisory Boards; the establishment of our AI Governance Board to oversee all our research and technology investments; and clear, public documentation of all our AI practices. These measures are to ensure responsible and ethical development, deployment, and use of AI systems in alignment with public sector values, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder interests.

Public sector data to power public sector AI

Data is key to how Large Language Models (LLMs) and other machine learning capabilities operate. Yet today, those models are informed by open-source data from across the internet — not data unique to the communities governments serve.

The real potential lies in leveraging data that reflects how governments engage with the entire community. Unlike private-sector data that often centers on consumer behavior, government data must encompass the range of interactions of citizens, residents, businessowners, and visitors — spanning public safety, health, transportation, education, and more. By focusing on government specific content, these technologies can help identify gaps, improve responsiveness, and enable more efficient, effective services.

AI built on real government interactions

At Granicus, we power more than 30 billion interactions between governments and the public every year. From public meetings to emails and SMS, or digital forms and services, this unique data enables us to create highly tailored AI capabilities unlike any other in the govtech space.
