"We'd have to rip out everything we already use." It's one of the first objections IT leaders raise when AI comes up, and it's usually wrong, but nobody's walked them through why.

Most local governments are running GIS platforms, permitting systems, and CRMs, and none of that has to change for AI to work. The real question isn't whether to replace your systems. It's how AI plugs into what's already there.

In this session, we'll go under the hood and cover:

• How AI tools actually connect to existing government systems
• What integration looks like in practice, without a rebuild
• Where GIS, permitting, and CRM systems fit into the picture
• The questions IT leaders should be asking vendors before deploying anything
• What "technical but accessible" actually looks like for a non-engineering team

This one's for the people who have to make the technical case internally, not just the case for AI in general.
