Government entities hold massive amounts of data within their cyber walls, so utilizing this data is a top priority for leaders across the public sector. As agencies strive to reach new heights in efficiency and effectiveness, new techniques for managing and accessing this very data are coming to the forefront. And with that comes new technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning.

How can the public sector prepare their data to effectively and responsibly make use of AI and ML? How can federal agencies translate the data from collection and storage to decision making and action? And how are leaders leveraging data analytics to better provide citizen services and meet critical missions? Join Nextgov/FCW for an exploration of how data experts are utilizing government data. We’ll highlight the lessons learned and the keys to fully unlocking data’s potential.
