Empowering Cities. Advancing AI. Building Tomorrow - Together.
|
A first-of-its-kind national platform created by The U.S. Roundtable, in collaboration with NVIDIA, visionary mayors, and leading technology innovators, ElevateGov AI is redefining how government approaches artificial intelligence. This initiative empowers mayors to learn, collaborate, and deploy AI responsibly within a trusted, civic-led environment.
Program Overview
The ElevateGov AI 2026 Session Program is part of a national framework developed by The U.S. Roundtable, in collaboration with NVIDIA, Dell Technologies, and leading U.S. mayors.
Announced on November 5, 2025, at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, ElevateGov AI unites mayors, city technologists, and innovators through a year-long series of structured sessions designed to operationalize Sovereign AI across U.S. cities.
Each quarterly program focuses on a key dimension of responsible AI transformation, providing hands-on learning, peer collaboration, and implementation tools. Together, these sessions build the foundation for city-owned, ethically governed, and transparently managed AI systems that strengthen governance, enhance community trust, and improve public outcomes nationwide.
