California Gov Tech in 2024 Outlook: Industry Insider Offers Insights

It’s what everyone in the tech industry wants to know: What’s the next big thing going to be in California state and local government technology in 2024?

The topic du jour in the past few years — cybersecurity — has been supplanted by artificial intelligence. But what’s that mean? What are the implications and the possibilities of generative AI in government? How will its ascendancy affect procurement, citizen services, interoperability and workforce development? What are the payoffs and what are the risks?

The evolving workforce shift to remote/hybrid, the ongoing “silver tsunami” of IT retirements, and the state’s ongoing budgetary struggles are among the other issues affecting the California gov tech market. They aren’t as new and shiny as AI, but they’ll still warrant attention in the year ahead.

These are among the topics covered in Industry Insider — California’s 2024 Gov Tech Outlook, a brief video overview of what may lie ahead this year for California’s public and private sectors. Dustin Haisler, the newly named president of Industry Insider’s parent company, e.Republic, joins Industry Insider’s executive editor, Dennis Noone, for this timely forecast. The questions are as illuminating as the answers as industry expert Haisler poses queries about procurement, policy and politics in the Golden State.

This mini-briefing is among the virtual and live events that have made Industry Insider — California indispensable to its public- and private-sector members and partners.
