Civic Tech That Works: AI & Data in the Service of Government, Communities, and Public Trust

Host: Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, Georgetown University

Across government and civil society, the question isn’t whether to adopt data and AI — it’s how to use them to deliver better services, strengthen trust, and improve outcomes for the people who rely on public systems every day.

This workshop spotlights practical civic tech applications already making a difference — from benefits delivery and digital identity to procurement, case management, and frontline service design. Grounded in implementation, not theory, the session explores what it takes to deploy responsible AI inside real institutions with legacy systems, policy constraints, and limited capacity.
