Because most county staffs are, by definition, small, he suggests looking beyond your own organization for help and learning from others facing the same challenges. Khaled Twafik expands on the value of collaboration, particularly when it comes to sharing resources, setting standards and making the case for AI investments.   Priorities also matter when deciding where to invest. Kate May from Granicus discusses how organizations can identify the processes and workflows where AI may have the greatest impact, and how understanding true constraints can help set realistic goals.   Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform to hear practical perspectives on making AI more approachable, affordable and useful, even when budgets and resources are limited.   ","author_name":"Feds At The Edge by FedInsider","author_url":"http:\/\/fedinsider.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
