They discussed how Washington is approaching AI, the importance of thoughtfully designing new digital services as agencies adopt emerging technologies, the role of strong data governance and clear privacy principles, and how these elements guide state systems. Gretchen described how modern technology platforms can improve the way residents interact with government services when they are built with trust, accessibility and security in mind. Katy outlined how privacy protections influence the state’s use of AI and automated decision systems. You can watch the show on TVW.
