Pathways to Modernizing Citizen Engagement: The Role of AI

Federal government agencies have found themselves in the middle of a service delivery revolution driven by generational change and fueled by the power of AI-enabled technology. Long gone are the days when citizens were content to walk into an office to get answers to questions about benefits or government services. Even the days of turning to websites in the hopes of finding the right answers, they are seemingly part of the past too. Today, citizens want to be able to connect with federal government agencies in similar ways that they have become used to interacting with consumer brands: on their terms beyond the nine to five.

While government agencies might assume that the solutions they need to deliver this next generation of citizen services might be out of their reach because of constrained budgets, Mike Raker, Chief Technology Officer at Maximus and Jason Schick, Vice President of US Public Sector at Genesys, have good news. Raker and Schick joined The Clickthrough Podcast to share their insights on pathways to modernization for federal agencies looking to improve service delivery experiences for citizens.

In part one of the podcast, shared here today, and available on all major podcasting platforms, Raker and Schick unpacked the challenges facing federal government agencies in service delivery and looked at how smart investments in the cloud and total experience solutions can address the key issues without breaking budgets.
