Today, NASCIO and Microsoft recognize the benefits of bringing IT best practices and innovations to everyone, with a shared belief that artificial intelligence is quickly becoming the defining technology of our time, as evidenced by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NASCIO\u2019s 2018 State CIO Survey revealing that 57 percent of respondents chose AI as the most impactful emerging IT in the next three to five years.<\/li>\n<li>A recent Microsoft-sponsored study by <a href=\"https:\/\/perspectives.eiu.com\/technology-innovation\/eiu-study-finds-strong-majority-business-executives-expect-artificial-intelligence-ai-have-positive\">The Economist<\/a> found that 94 percent of senior executives in various industries describe AI as important to solving their organizations\u2019 strategic challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Already, AI is having a tangible, useful impact on many people\u2019s day-to-day lives, especially through the efforts of state and local government CIOs and their teams. Some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For California businesses, there\u2019s an \u201calways open\u201d sign at the Secretary of State\u2019s office, thanks to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sos.ca.gov\/administration\/news-releases-and-advisories\/2018-news-releases-and-advisories\/secretary-states-eureka-chatbot-awarded-best-california-award-center-digital-media\/\">award-winning chatbot<\/a> powered by Microsoft AI. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wGjTE9d7mBM\">Eureka<\/a>\u201d answers commonly asked questions about businesses and trademarks, 24\/7, making it quick and easy for customers to get the information they need.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/industry\/blog\/government\/2019\/04\/02\/sean-arizona-modernizes-the-snap-eligibility-process-via-chatbot\/\">Arizona\u2019s Department of Economic Security<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w9EHouRK9kQ\">San Diego County Sheriff\u2019s Department<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/industry\/blog\/government\/2019\/03\/18\/chatbots-a-benefit-for-state-and-local-government-operations\/\">four more state and local governments are implementing chatbots<\/a>, which rely on our <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/\">Azure<\/a> cloud platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/ai\">AI<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/services\/bot-service\/\">Cognitive Services: Bot Framework<\/a>. These innovations are supporting employees and citizens on everything from streamlining the eligibility process for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to better equipping first responders to resetting passwords to answering property or sales tax questions to delivering financial-aid information to college students and parents. Please learn more about chatbots for government at this <a href=\"https:\/\/register.gotowebinar.com\/register\/5142869280088381963?source=MSFT+Invites\">May 16 webinar<\/a> by Microsoft partner <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tallan.com\/leg\">Tallan<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>AI for good<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to creating unique opportunities for government to deliver enhanced citizen services, we believe in the power of AI to amplify human ingenuity and extend our capabilities to help solve the biggest challenges across both public and private sectors. Toward this end, Microsoft is investing $115 million over five years in our <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/ai\/ai-for-good\">AI for Good initiative<\/a>, which provides funding, technology and expertise to individuals, nonprofits and organizations to address environmental, humanitarian and accessibility challenges. We\u2019re also investing in AI efforts with apps like <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/seeing-ai\/\">Seeing AI<\/a>, which is designed to help people who are blind or have low vision by describing people, objects and text around them, and projects such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/aiforearth\/farmbeats.aspx\">FarmBeats<\/a>, which is enabling farmers to increase their yields with fewer resources and less environmental impact.<\/p>\n<h2>Perspectives on AI<\/h2>\n<p>Our State &amp; Local Government team is embracing the AI opportunity and we\u2019re working hard to become recognized as your most trusted AI partner. Yet we also recognize the need to balance the power of AI with a responsible approach, applying ethics to address societal impacts and build trust. Microsoft provides our perspective on where AI technology is going and the new issues it\u2019s raising in our 146-page book, \u201cThe Future Computed: Artificial Intelligence and its role in society.\u201d Other perspectives on AI from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/\">The Economist<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\">Gartner<\/a> and more are available at this <a href=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/ww-landing-AI-in-Government-Playlist.html?lcid=en-us\">guide to the future of AI technology in government<\/a>. We hope CIOs across the nation will read and share these resources with their teams to stimulate thinking about using AI to create the most positive outcomes.<\/p>\n<h2>Congratulations and thanks<\/h2>\n<p>When I was named to my current role in July 2018, one of the first meetings I held was with 15 state CIOs, who spent two days providing feedback on how to improve our support and relationships going forward. Since then, I\u2019ve continued discussions with state and local government CIOs and hosted our <a href=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/US-DTGOV-WBNR-FY19-12Dec-05-MicrosoftVirtualGovernmentTechSummit2018MASTER_02OnDemandRegistration-ForminHero.html?wt.mc_id=undefined\">Government Digital Summit<\/a>. I\u2019m exceedingly grateful to all the government leaders who have generously shared their time and invaluable input to enable Microsoft and our partners to continue building the capabilities that empower CIOs to better address challenges and meet citizen expectations. As NASCIO wraps up its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvent.com\/events\/nascio-2019-midyear-conference\/event-summary-e38314b59f45495fbf5f470422c5e9a3.aspx\">2019 Midyear Conference<\/a> today, I\u2019m honored to extend the sincere congratulations of our Microsoft State &amp; Local Government team and U.S. government partners on 50 outstanding years of representing state CIOs.
