In this episode of the GovAI Podcast, Noam Maital and Dustin Haisler are joined by Jerry Gabrielatos, former City Manager of Beloit, Wisconsin, and a longtime local government leader known for meeting residents where they are—from farmers markets to neighborhood barbershops.
Jerry shares why he believes AI isn't replacing the human side of government; it's creating more opportunities for it. By automating administrative work, agencies can spend more time engaging residents, building trust, and focusing on the work that matters most.
They explore how AI can help address workforce shortages, improve community engagement, reduce reliance on consultants, and empower employees to focus on higher-value work. The conversation also dives into the future of government jobs, why many agencies are still underusing AI, and what leaders should do today to prepare for what's next.
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.
