Launched by the Partnership for Public Service in 2019, the AI Government Leadership Program convenes senior government leaders around responsibly guiding AI in their agencies. ​Building on the Partnership’s extensive experience delivering leadership development programming, along with support from Microsoft and Google.org, the program develops a community of leaders who are ready to guide their organizations’ AI strategy.

The AI Government Leadership Program consists of six half-day (3 hours) virtual sessions across four months. As this is not technical training, the program is designed to:

  • Educate decision-makers on the opportunities around AI.  ​
  • Highlight best practices for how to make the case for and develop AI solutions. ​
  • Prepare leaders to incorporate AI technology into their strategies and equip their workforce.  ​

We are offering this program at no cost to government agencies.

Please note that all sessions in this cycle will be held virtually.

  • Federal cohort sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to noon. ET on Zoom for Government.
  • State/local cohort sessions will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET on Zoom for Government.

Application deadline: Feb. 13, 2026, 11:59 pm ET
