The GovAI Coalition is proud to celebrate our members recognized in Center for Public Sector AI’s inaugural AI 50 Awards, including the GovAI Coalition as a group! These awards honor both individuals and organizations that are shaping the future of public service through thoughtful and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The AI 50 showcases how public sector innovators are using AI to better serve residents, improve government operations, and build ethical, secure, and inclusive digital services.

Our founders established the GovAI Coalition with the goal of supporting and amplifying the practice and policies of safe and responsible AI use. Over 30% of the honorees are members of the Coalition, showcasing the reach we have together, spanning from coast to coast.
