The $10 million grant to the Partnership for Public Service will fund the establishment of the Center for Federal AI, a new hub focused on building AI expertise within the federal government. Set to open in spring 2025, the center will provide a federal AI leadership program, internships, and other initiatives designed to cultivate AI talent in the public sector.

InnovateUS will use the $5 million grant to expand AI education for state and local government employees, aiming to train 100,000 workers through specialized courses, workshops, and coaching sessions.

“AI is today’s electricity—a transformative technology fundamental to the public sector and society,” said Max Stier, president and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service. “Google.org’s generous support allows us to expand our programming and launch the new Center for Federal AI, empowering agencies to harness AI to better serve the public.”

These grants clearly underscore Google.org’s commitment to equipping government agencies with the tools and talent necessary to navigate the evolving AI landscape responsibly. With these tools in place, Tectonic looks forward to assist you in becoming an ai-driven public sector service.
