Partnerships

GTA is spearheading efforts to drive AI innovation in government through its collaborative Innovation Lab. This initiative brings together state agencies, partners, and elected officials to foster experimentation and development in artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.

By leveraging emerging technologies to drive innovation in secure environments, participants will address key business challenges, propose innovative solutions, and develop Proofs of Concept (POCs). These POCs will allow participants to test out and validate before investing, while identifying partners for future implementation. Through these partnerships, GTA aims to harness cutting-edge technology to enhance government services and drive efficiency across the state.
