From Planning to Practice: Accelerating AI Implementation in Government

AI adoption in government has moved beyond theory—it’s now about execution. While headlines still debate the risks and potential of AI, agencies are realizing that the real challenge isn’t understanding why AI matters, but how to make it work in practice. Too many teams remain stuck in pilot mode or waiting for top-down mandates, while the technology and its workforce implications continue to accelerate.

It’s time to move from planning to implementation. This session will focus on how government agencies can operationalize AI today—by building internal capability, embedding responsible-use policies, and upskilling their workforce to achieve measurable outcomes. We’ll share lessons from early adopters, practical frameworks for launching AI training programs, and a preview of Coursera’s upcoming AI Go-To Guide launching in January.

Join us to move beyond the “AI conversation” and toward tangible results—helping your agency turn strategy into action, and action into impact.
