2026 CPSAI AI 50 Awards Honors: Leading the Way

The Center for Public Sector AI's AI 50 Awards celebrates the nation's most impactful public sector AI innovators. These are the agencies, teams, and partnerships pushing what government's can do for communities with AI responsibly. Drawing from the largest and most competitive field of applicants spanning dozens of states, agency types, and industries, this year's honorees reflect a field that is maturing fast. Join us as we honor those showing the way.

AI efforts are increasingly aligned with organizational strategy, paired with value and risk frameworks, and built with an eye toward sustainable outcomes for both workforces and the public. From community-facing service delivery to cross-sector partnerships to skilling programs, the AI 50 represents the best of what happens when the public sector leads with intention. By sharing and learning openly, we rise together.
