More about the event:
AI is changing the way government operates — how fast a city responds to residents, how public money is spent, how decisions that affect millions of lives are made. Every startup selling AI to government eventually meets the same people: the official who has to approve it, the city that has to run it, and the investor asking whether any of it renews. This panel puts them in the same room for a conversation on building at the frontier with our most critical institutions.
This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com
