Excellent takeaways below from the State of GovTech conference last week, on making sure to engage residents in government innovation strategy as early as possible, and bringing them along with you as you go 👇 #GovTech #CivicEngagement #AI #PublicSector #GoVocal

It was an honor to share the stage with these government innovators! Some takeaways from our CivStart panel on Civic Engagement, AI, and Humanizing Service Delivery: 🛣️ Start with an AI innovation strategy and create a roadmap for where your agency should be 5, 10+ years from now. Steve Rao 🪑 For the public to buy-in to technological innovation, you must give them a seat at the table. Engage them early and listen to them throughout the process. Yusuf Daneshyar 📢 Show your work! Tell residents the story of how this will positively impact their daily lives. Create opportunities for them to touch and feel innovation up close. Michael Hale Jr. 🤖 Don't feel overwhelmed. Big technological leaps start with small improvements. Start innovating where you can and build from there! Chip Kennedy 🤝 Leverage human-centered AI to augment your daily work and maximize your community impact. Centralize your efforts with other departments' when possible.

I absolutely love engaging with youth and having meaningful discussions that inspire thought and reflection. Recently, I had the privilege of hosting an interactive session at the SDA Tech Hub on a topic that feels incredibly relevant today: the importance of being human in the world of AI. It was an incredible exchange of opinions and ideas, and I was truly impressed by the perspectives shared. Conversations like these remind me of the power of dialogue in shaping a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities we face in this ever-evolving technological era. #YouthEngagement #AIAndHumanity #MeaningfulDiscussions #FutureOfAI #SDAHub #InteractiveSession #TechWithPurpose #BeingHumanInAI #YouthVoices #AIImpact #InnovationAndEthics

Have you ever thought about the minds that sparked the digital age? Let’s shine a light on Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer. In the mid-1800s, she envisioned a future where machines could perform tasks beyond calculations. Her foresight laid the groundwork for modern computing and artificial intelligence. At 247 Labs, we strive to embody Lovelace's spirit of innovation. We don’t just create software; we engineer intelligent solutions that push boundaries and inspire change. Just as Lovelace imagined a world transformed by technology, we believe that with creativity and vision, the future of tech is limitless. Ready to create something extraordinary? We’ve got your back, let’s build something great together. 📞 1-877-247-7421 ✉️ hello@247labs.com 🔗 www.247Labs.com #InspiredByInnovation #AdaLovelace #247Labs #TechForGood #FutureReady #GITEX #AI #Appdevelopment

ICYMI: One in four Americans have a disability, but assistive tech remains outdated and expensive. Autonomous Living Technologies aims to bring affordable AI-driven solutions to the market. Auli.tech is now collaborating with MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) to leverage cutting-edge research. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology community is a big draw for Auli.tech, and co-founder Spero Koulouras is excited to spread awareness of what they’re doing. “You're not going to find a smarter group of people or a better set of ideas anywhere in the world,” he says, adding, “somewhere in the MIT population is a bright engineer who's motivated by the same goals.” He hopes, by engaging with CSAIL through CSAIL Alliances, to find like-minded computer scientists willing to contribute their ideas, time, and talents toward helping provide better assistive technology.

Yesterday evening, I had the opportunity to attend the BLASTFEST Culture & Tech mixer and AI panel discussion at the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle! I can’t even explain to you how refreshing, and liberating it was to just be in the building! The room was filled with dozens of young African-American tech professionals and I got to meet some amazing people! African-Americans definitely have a seat at the table and an opportunity to benefit from generative AI, and machine learning, through daily utilization (personal and business), development, and financial investment, that can positively change the course of our families legacy if we make the right decisions now. The three panelists, represented NVIDIA , Amazon , and Microsoft and gave great insight on all of the capabilities of AI as well as how important it is for our community to be beneficiaries of this next generation of technology. They made a comparison to the .com boom of the late 90s and urged us to educate ourselves on how to use and invest in this new technology, as well as discussed many of the different ways that our community can and should benefit even if we are not technology professionals. It’s so refreshing to see African-American excellence in this field. It’s truly privilege to be here in Seattle in essentially one of the most vital tech hubs of the USA. I look forward to connecting with more organizations like this in the Seattle area! Food for thought: When the world is majorly changed and consumed by this technology in the next 10 and 20 years, what side of the fence will you be on? When millionaires and billionaires are made off of the proper utilization of this technology, will you be in the number?

🔍📊 A recent study reveals the hidden power of algorithms in shaping society, yet research lags behind. With over half the world affected daily, we must understand their impact on us. 📈🌍 read the article here: bit.ly/3YNBR4i Let’s advocate for responsible tech! 🤝🔧 #AlgorithmInfluence #DigitalHealth #TechEthics #digilab #TWONProject
