What to Ask Before You Deploy AI: A 2026 Guide for Local Government Leaders

As local governments accelerate AI adoption to improve resident services, the risks around security, accountability, and vendor quality are rising just as fast. Join Readyly — the Agentic AI Network built for local governments — for a practical, no-hype guide to what leaders must ask before deploying AI in 2026. This webinar focuses on the real decisions facing IT, legal, and procurement teams, and the safeguards needed to defend those decisions after deployment. We’ll walk through the most common blind spots in AI vendor selection—and how to avoid costly shortcuts. ✅ Why do security certifications matter, and which key certifications should vendors meet? ✅ What AI-specific provisions should be included in government contracts? ✅ How can you tell if an AI vendor is legitimate—and how do vendors commonly cut corners? ✅ What practical steps can local government leaders take to protect themselves?
