Government Generative AI & AI Agents: Application, Governance, Procurement & Acceptance

GoAI 101 is an 8-hour, one-day foundational government-AI adoption course for central and local government agencies (the full edition; a 6-hour essentials edition covers the same eight capability facets). Rather than centering on any single model, platform, or tool, it starts from real agency work and builds an integrated capability: AI-use judgment, workflow design, context and trusted data, AI agents, tool and system connection, Human-in-the-Loop, governance and risk control, through procurement specification, testing, and acceptance.

Which edition should I take?

GoAI 101 comes in two editions with the same audience and the same eight capability facets; they differ in time and practice depth. Choose by the time your agency can release.

GoAI 101 · 8-Hour Full Edition: A full day is available and each capability facet should get its own practice and artifact.
