Baker on the Road: Artificial Intelligence in State and Local Government

How can government harness the potential of AI while navigating the risks that come with it?

Join the Baker School in Nashville for a timely conversation about how artificial intelligence is transforming state and local government—from the way agencies operate to how they serve the public.

The Baker School’s Director of Graduate Studies and Professor, Dr. Tara Bryan, will lead a panel discussion featuring Ali Sekmen, CEO at Pangea, and Megan Kennedy, Risk Manager at Ernst & Young. The conversation will explore the opportunities and challenges presented by AI, including emerging risks, practical applications, and the real-world implications for government and the communities it serves. Panelists will also discuss Tennessee’s emerging role in this rapidly evolving landscape.

Following the conversation, guests are invited to join us for a reception to continue the discussion and connect with the speakers and fellow attendees.
