How AI Technologies Are Reshaping Computing in State and Local Governments By Cameron Chehreh , Vice President and General Manager of Public Sector at Intel
U se of AI in state and local governments is growing, and the state of Florida is at the forefront of innovation. Agencies are using AI for cybersecurity, agricultural sustainability, hurricane preparation and more. Meanwhile, the Florida legislature is considering ways to grow AI use in the state in a safe and responsible manner. By harnessing the power of AI, agencies can analyze vast amounts of data to make faster, more informed decisions, ultimately enhancing the lives of citizens. The rise in AI technology has
sparked a computing revolution, ushering in the era of “Siliconomy” – an evolving economy enabled by silicon where semiconductors are essential to maintaining modern economies. This new era emphasizes exponential leaps in computing technology and capabilities needed to speed development and drive innovation – from local government offices to state-run data centers. A More Resilient Semiconductor Supply Chain To meet the increasing demand for processing power, a more
resilient and balanced global semiconductor supply chain is necessary. Currently, 80 percent of the world’s semiconductors are produced in Asia, posing risks to national security and local economies that depend on reliable, resilient semiconductor access. Fortunately, progress is being made. Semiconductor manufacturing job opportunities are increasing. To diversify the supply chain, the CHIPS and Science Act is investing $53 billion in the U.S. semiconductor industry. A year after the Act was signed into law, U.S. companies invested over $825
