We'll explore the ways our AI solutions are adaptive, secure, responsible, and intelligent – enabling agencies to serve constituents better than ever before. Explore our thought leadership hub to explore innovative ideas for public service.

The public sector's need for intelligent AI

In the past year, generative AI has emerged as a focal point for innovation, offering the potential to transform how government agencies operate and serve their communities. However, to truly unlock the transformative potential of AI, it is crucial to establish a robust foundation of data management practices and infrastructure. Recent surveys reveal that nearly half of federal employees and over two-thirds of their state and local counterparts are leveraging AI's analytical capabilities to gain valuable insights from vast amounts of data¹. This widespread adoption underscores AI's growing importance in the public sector, as agencies seek to optimize operations, enhance services, and ultimately build a smarter, more responsive government for the future.

Elevating public sector missions with intelligent AI

Robust data management practices, policies, and infrastructure are the cornerstone of successful AI implementation in government. Recognizing this, Google Cloud provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to unlock the full potential of data for public sector organizations. Vertex AI, a unified platform, streamlines the creation, deployment, and scaling of machine learning models, giving the Public Sector the power to make more informed, data-driven decisions while streamlining operations to free up time for what matters. BigQuery, a serverless, highly scalable, and cost-effective multi-cloud data warehouse, simplifies data management across diverse environments, ensuring seamless access and analysis. Google Threat Intelligence offers unparalleled visibility into the global threat landscape. By defending billions of users, seeing millions of phishing attacks, and spending hundreds of thousands of hours investigating incidents, we have the visibility to see across the threat landscape to keep the most important organizations protected, yours. Through continuous innovation and the seamless integration of AI into its core offerings, Google Cloud empowers public sector organizations to leverage data-driven insights for meaningful and impactful change.

Transforming Hawaii's infrastructure and the U.S. Air Force's operations

• The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) faces the unique challenge of safeguarding a vulnerable island infrastructure against the increasing threat of climate events. Partnering with Google Cloud, HDOT has leveraged AI and data analytics to integrate diverse datasets, including climate prediction models, into a comprehensive view of potential threats and vulnerabilities. This empowers HDOT to proactively prioritize infrastructure investments, optimize maintenance plans, and adapt to changing conditions. As a result, HDOT is better equipped to protect communities, preserve infrastructure, and ensure access to resources in the face of an uncertain future, demonstrating the transformative power of AI in building a more resilient Hawaii.
