The National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) emphasizes the need for collaboration on artificial intelligence (AI) policies among states, federal agencies, and Congress. States are proactively developing AI governance strategies, which necessitates that federal policies do not hinder these efforts or erode public trust. Other priorities include promoting .gov domain adoption and enhancing cybersecurity measures at the local level.
NASCIO's advocacy for the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program highlights the importance of funding for cybersecurity initiatives. The organization also stresses the need for a robust IT workforce to support infrastructure modernization and AI implementation. Addressing workforce shortages will require diverse policy proposals and collaboration among various stakeholders, including state and federal agencies.
