AITalks 2026

AITalks 2026 is the nation's premier event where top government leaders, tech innovators, and industry experts converge to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in the public sector space. As large-scale generative and agentic AI systems have moved from experimentation to operational deployment, artificial intelligence has become a defining priority for federal agency leaders and U.S. policymakers alike. AI is actively reshaping how government delivers services, manages risk, and advances its core missions. The U.S. government is at a critical point where it’s competing to set the tone for how AI will be used responsibly, safely and ethically across the globe while also leading in its adoption. During this day-long event, attendees will hear about cutting-edge AI applications revolutionizing government operations—from cybersecurity to citizen services—as well as practical insights on building a culture of AI adoption and overcoming implementation challenges. The conference will also cover how federal agencies are mitigating the unfolding risks associated with nascent technology and what they anticipate in the years to come. The Biden administration’s AI executive order has called on organizations at all levels of government to grapple with AI’s inherent risks and balance that with its many opportunities.
