Season 2 of the GovAI Podcast is here.
AI is evolving faster than government policy, procurement, and regulation can keep up and that gap is creating both massive opportunity and real risk.
In this kickoff episode, Noam Maital and Dustin Haisler break down what’s happening right now across the AI landscape: from federal and state regulation battles to the race between frontier models like OpenAI, Gemini, and Copilot. They also explore what agencies actually need to be doing today to prepare for the next wave of AI adoption.
From shadow AI inside agencies to agentic systems and citizen-facing AI, this conversation looks ahead to where government AI is heading in 2026 and beyond.
This podcast is brought to you by Darwin AI, a platform built for state and local government to help agencies adopt and manage AI responsibly.
