Note: This is a live webinar on February 10, 2026, from 12:00 pm-1:30 pm ET. Participants will use Zoom to join. 

Training Overview:

Uncover the paradox facing public health today: more than 75% of agencies are experimenting with AI tools, yet 85% still lack the governance policies needed to use them responsibly. This session will discuss findings from a landmark survey of 25+ state and local health departments, exploring the critical gap between AI enthusiasm and responsible implementation. Learn how to navigate concerns around data privacy, algorithmic bias, and public trust while harnessing AI's transformative efficiency. Walk away with a practical readiness checklist to move your organization from experimentation to sustainable AI adoption.
