Mayors AI Playbook
January 28, 2026
The United States Conference of Mayors published the new Mayors Artificial Intelligence (AI) Playbook in partnership with Google. The playbook provides a blueprint for implementing AI strategies at the local level. It provides practical guidance on AI and data governance, secure technology and strategies, and actionable best practices. The playbook is split into two chapters:
- How to build an "AI-ready city"—governance, procurement, staffing and the basics needed to roll out tools safely and effectively.
- "AI in action"—use cases for city services like multilingual resident communications, call center modernization, document review and research.
