When it comes to AI in government, no agency can succeed in isolation. The challenges of deploying artificial intelligence, whether in data governance, cybersecurity, or citizen services, are too complex for siloed solutions. That’s why cross-agency learning is critical. By sharing lessons learned, aligning strategies, and collaborating on implementation, federal, state, and local agencies can accelerate progress and avoid repeating mistakes.
At GovAI Summit, this spirit of collaboration is at the core of the agenda. Leaders gather to discuss how to move beyond pilot projects, scale responsibly, and align with the American AI Action Plan, which emphasizes not only advancing innovation but doing so equitably and transparently. Cross-agency learning helps turn those priorities into action.
Scaling AI is not just about technology adoption; it’s also about building sustainable practices. Agencies often face similar hurdles in procurement reform, workforce training, and AI governance. By learning from one another, they can develop playbooks that save time, streamline investments, and strengthen consistency across government.
For instance, one agency’s success in digital transformation can inform another’s approach to citizen services. A breakthrough in data governance at the state level can help federal agencies accelerate their own initiatives. Shared knowledge creates a multiplier effect, ensuring that taxpayer investments in AI deliver maximum public value.
Our recent post on Building and Scaling AI Systems highlighted how agencies are moving from pilot to policy. Similarly, our blog on Pillar Two of the American AI Action Plan underscored the importance of robust AI infrastructure and data readiness. Both examples prove a simple truth: no single agency holds all the answers. Progress comes faster when those insights are shared across the public sector.
Cross-agency learning is also the key to ensuring government-wide impact. Consider how Smart Cities initiatives at the municipal level can inform federal strategies for urban planning and citizen engagement. Conversely, federal investments in AI adoption and AI policy can empower smaller agencies to scale up with confidence, avoiding common pitfalls along the way.
By fostering consistent frameworks, shared training programs, and aligned procurement strategies, cross-agency learning reduces duplication of effort and helps ensure that innovation reaches every level of government. This not only accelerates transformation but strengthens public trust by showing that AI solutions are applied fairly and responsibly.
GovAI Summit is the national gathering point for these conversations. Here, agency leaders, policymakers, and AI innovators exchange case studies, policy frameworks, and practical lessons that others can adapt. Whether you’re working on responsible AI, drafting long-term AI strategy, or building capacity for AI deployment, the opportunity to learn from your peers is invaluable.
Our post on Pillar One of the American AI Action Plan focused on creating trustworthy AI systems, which is a principle that cross-agency learning directly supports. By working together, agencies can implement guardrails that make AI both powerful and accountable.
The future of AI in government depends on collaboration. Cross-agency learning ensures that innovation doesn’t remain siloed, but instead benefits the entire public sector and the citizens it serves.

From pilots to policies, from local to federal, scaling AI requires all of us learning together. GovAI Summit is where that learning begins.
