What we learned from 250,000 public workers about AI adoption
InnovateUS, a nonprofit, has trained over 250,000 government employees across all 50 states in AI and digital skills. While some workers report productivity gains from generative AI, many government staff remain unsure how to apply the technology to their jobs or whether policies permit its use. Examples include Colorado officials using AI to improve performance reviews, resulting in better feedback and reduced turnover. The broader challenge is translating AI benefits from private industry into effective public service delivery.
