Agencies are using it to power chatbots that answer citizen questions and predictive analytics that help leaders anticipate failures and issues. These early applications are reshaping how government operates, improving efficiencies, and opening the door to new innovations. Yet according to experts, the story is only just beginning. A new wave of AI is emerging in government that is taking operations beyond automation. This is agentic AI . The questions facing leaders now are critical. What does agentic AI mean for agencies? And how can government move from small-scale experiments to mission-driven outcomes that deliver lasting value? In the latest episode of the Government Technology Insider Podcast , host Lucas Hunsicker speaks with Katie Tierney, Area Vice President of the Americas at BMC Helix. Drawing on more than three decades in technology, Tierney unpacks both the opportunities and the roadblocks that lie ahead for government AI. Despite having a presence in most agencies, the extent of AI adoption is uneven. While some agencies are experimenting with automation or deploying chatbots, others are only beginning to explore AI’s potential. Success often comes down to skills, governance, and data readiness, and without those, many projects fall short. Tierney cited a recent MIT study that found 95 percent of AI initiatives fail to deliver measurable value. Too often, AI is treated as a shiny tool rather than part of a broader shift in technology and society. For agencies determined to be in the successful five percent, Tierney highlights several essentials. Start with purpose. Ensure data is prepared and governed. Keep humans in the loop. And build momentum with incremental pr…","meta_description":"Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already touched nearly every corner of the public sector.
