Interesting read. Watermarks only work if the receiving system can check them. Digital trust is becoming an ops problem...AI and the new rules of digital trust: Watermarks https://t.co/rNCX8vRXgC #govtech #AI #AIgovernance

Another good example of a state looking to build some guardrails for AI. I anticipate many states to join and revise their AI controls with their sessions in 2027...Nevada lawmakers propose oversight for state, local agencies using AI https://t.co/IhR6L5rKQB #govtech #AI #AIgovernance #AIpolicy

The tech lobby’s “patchwork” scare is losing. Statehouses are writing AI audits, kid chatbot rules, and data-center bills anyway...‘The landscape has changed dramatically’: States defy the tech lobby on AI rules https://t.co/jh964fWO8j #govtech #AI #AIpolicy

An AI strategy without a complete inventory is still a visibility problem. If agencies self-report tools inconsistently, oversight starts with blind spots...State Audit Finds NYC’s AI Oversight Efforts Incomplete https://t.co/DKFi5NOS2m #govtech #AI #AIgovernance

Public comment only works if the commenter is real. Agencies that can’t tell a person from a bot don’t have a record. They have noise...California lawmakers move to crack down on AI used for public comment https://t.co/cnJ7HHxXc6 #govtech #AI #AIgovernance #publicAI

Interesting. Iowa just gave small cities a question set for data-center deals: water, power, tax, land use, emergency services. Most localities were negotiating with no counsel and no engineers...Iowa academics launch tool to help localities weigh proposed data centers https://t.co/58A4WB1yHM #govtech #AI

AI can make leaders faster and worse at the same time if you let the model do the evaluating. Stay the human in the loop...AI Is Undermining Leaders’ Judgment. Here’s What to Do About It. https://t.co/SkHJ1FAmIB #govtech #AI

This is definitely an interesting moment where the barrier of creation has fallen to almost nothing; however, how we apply governance, connect underlying data, and secure these software 'projects' will increasingly become increasingly important...Welcome to the personal software revolution https://t.co/w36bg0iTmN

Idaho just set K-12 AI guardrails: no teacher replacement, no AI grading. The useful part is a statewide template other states can copy without waiting for a federal rule...State Board roundup 8/12/26: Board approves AI standards for K-12 schools https://t.co/SYMDzg1qAl #govtech #AI #AIpolicy

Interesting read. Procurement is the one function where agentic AI can be scored in dollars, and the judgment calls still stay with the buyer...Why Agentic AI Could Transform Procurement https://t.co/4oaJjNKCZC #govtech #AI

[Dustin Haisler @dustinhaisler]

Interesting read. Once agents can touch real systems, “who pays when it goes wrong” splits across the model maker, the cloud, and the agency that deployed it...Making companies liable could rein in runaway AI https://t.co/CiWI1Nll83 #govtech #AI

[Dustin Haisler @dustinhaisler]

Open weights stayed out of the last White House framework. The next eval and procurement rules will decide whether agencies can actually run them...Open-source AI faces more government scrutiny https://t.co/JnyzBA0JGO #govtech #AI

[Dustin Haisler @dustinhaisler]

Districts are spending billions on AI and still can't tell which tools they actually own. If you can't keep the chat logs, you didn't buy a product. You rented a risk...Schools spend billions on AI, but struggle to figure out what’s worth buying https://t.co/07IE3h5USR #govtech #AI

[Dustin Haisler @dustinhaisler]

Interesting read. Cities keep launching chatbots and pothole pilots. The harder question is who is accountable when the tool is wrong, and whether residents can even ask for a human...Local governments are using AI more and more. But are they doing it wisely? https://t.co/2IeHeHJFUs #govtech #AI

A litigant hid white 3-point text in a court filing telling any AI reviewer to side with him. The minute government uses AI to read the public, the public will start writing to the AI...Person Hides Prompt Injection In Legal Filing Telling AI To Side With Them https://t.co/LY2Vu0tYQb #govtech #AI
