Responsible AI in Action: Transforming Operations in the Public Sector (with Audience Q&A)

October 14, 2026

Prerequisite: None

Catherine Ganduri

Systems Analyst

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

This session will include a moderated Q&A featuring questions from the live audience.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to fundamentally improve how public sector organizations deliver services, make decisions, and manage operations—yet many agencies struggle to move beyond pilot projects due to legacy systems, data quality issues, governance gaps, security concerns, and organizational readiness.

Drawing on her experience in the public sector and with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Catherine Ganduri presents a practical framework for implementing responsible AI in government and other highly regulated environments, illustrating key concepts with examples from public sector initiatives.

Ganduri will discuss:

  • Identifying high-value AI use cases and assessing organizational readiness
  • Establishing effective data governance and human-AI decision workflows
  • Managing risk—bias, privacy, explainability, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance—without slowing innovation
  • Building cross-functional AI teams and scaling initiatives from pilot to enterprise-wide adoption
