Government AI Landscape Assessment

States are at varying stages of AI adoption—it’s not a single procurement decision or a one-time technology upgrade. It’s an institutional journey across agencies and departments. Most states are still early in this journey. Some are building governance frameworks. Others are piloting generative AI tools. A few are beginning to scale implementation. Very few have fully embedded AI into core operations with robust measurement and continuous improvement. The AI journey can be understood as a progression across four stages:

1. Readiness builds the foundation
2. Piloting demonstrates what’s possible
3. Implementation delivers results
4. Impact ensures accountability and improvement

Each stage builds upon the previous one. With that in mind, this assessment focuses most on generative AI adoption, use, and value, while also picking up signals on previous implementations of predictive AI and intelligent automation, and new work in agentic AI. This site represents a short summary of our extensive research.
