Over the past few years, generative artificial intelligence, or AI, has been incorporated into a variety of programs and tools, inspiring some to ask what tasks could be streamlined and improved through the use of this technology.

In 2024, Governor Hochul included AI in her State of the State address, announcing the Empire AI initiative and a new policy, authored by ITS, to govern the safe and responsible use of AI to benefit all New Yorkers.

Over the past few years, as this technology has evolved, ITS has been working behind the scenes, preparing to implement AI where it makes sense, streamlining processes, making tasks easier for the talented New York State workforce and making government services more accessible for the people who need them.

On today’s episode, New York State’s new Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer, Dr. Eleonore Fournier-Tombs, will give our listeners a general overview of what is in store for the future of New York State as the scope and capabilities of AI continue to evolve.
