CASS COUNTY — Local government leaders will discuss how they can implement artificial intelligence into their operations.
As part of the Local Government Artificial Intelligence (AI) Symposium, elected leaders from across the metro met with heads of various departments to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and need for caution in the use of AI in a non-technical way. We plan to have a discussion on the subject. Release from the state of Cass County.
Cass County Government will host a discussion April 23 from 8:30 a.m. to noon in the Bison Room of the Cass County Annex.

“As local governments navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology and governance, Cass County’s AI Symposium is a great opportunity for leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue,” Cass County Commissioner Tony Guindberg said in a release. “It provides an important platform for exploring the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.” “By fostering collaboration and sharing insights, this symposium will enable authorities to leverage AI responsibly and ensure our communities thrive in the digital age.”
It was at a session on AI in Washington, D.C., that Grindberg learned that many local governments nationwide were beginning to explore the impact of AI on society and its capabilities as a tool.
“For me, it was an aha moment,” Grindberg told the forum. “This seemed like a no-brainer to move forward with this discussion (in Cass County).”
He will work with the county's IT department to invite other municipalities in the metro to the table to consider how AI can be used to serve taxpayers more efficiently and to We got the ball rolling by considering what the impact could be and deciding what policies were needed. Participate in play.
He said AI can help with taking minutes of meetings, editing agendas, ensuring the long-term integrity of information stored on the county's website, promoting accuracy across the organization and enhancing cybersecurity. There are many potential uses.
The symposium is free and open to the public, the release states. However, there will be no opportunity for public comment during the meeting, as it is intended to foster discussion about AI among elected officials and local government leaders.
Participants are asked to register in advance to ensure sufficient space, the release states. Readers planning to attend should contact IT Director Bob Henderson at hendersonb@casscountynd.gov to register.
“Here in Cass County, we believe it is important to openly discuss AI implementation within our local government and collaborate with other local governments,” Henderson said in a release.
“By working together, we will ensure that any AI project meets the county's needs, complies with regulations and is successful,” Henderson said. “By bringing so many important stakeholders to the table, we will foster innovation, streamline processes, and strengthen our ability to deliver cutting-edge technology solutions to our communities.”
