The State of Maryland will be receiving a “software update,” Gov. Wes Moore announced during a press conference Monday.
Moore and his IT secretary, Katie Savage, announced four new technology initiatives, including a statewide executive order on artificial intelligence, a new digital services team, a digital accessibility policy and a cybersecurity partnership with the Maryland Army National Guard. Through these initiatives, Moore said, the state is aiming to integrate AI ethically into state government work, bolster cyberdefense and improve residents’ access to state resources, particularly for those with disabilities.
