Code for America

That’s a wrap on our first season of The Government Fix! Government is all around us. It’s in your morning routine, your commute, even your grocery run. We need it. And it can be better. But this isn’t about tearing down bureaucracy—it’s about building up what works. Smarter systems. Better tools. Less stress. Because when government works well, it works for everyone. What was your favorite moment of this season? Let us know in the comments! codeforamerica.org/podcast

How are states actually using AI today—and what does progress really look like? In Code for America's 2026 Government AI Landscape Assessment, we break down what we’re seeing across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., from early readiness, to implementation, to real-world impact. Are states at the stage where they’re delivering real impact for people? The assessment covers: • Where states are making progress • What separates readiness from impact • Why this moment matters for public services Check out the full assessment here: https://lnkd.in/gVpFDWhR #GovAI #CivicTech #AILandscapeAssessment

“No one should have to think about ensuring that their babies have access to developing the foundation upon which all future learning and development will take place,” explains Dr. David Johns. In the last episode of this season of The Government Fix, we explore what it takes to design education systems that reflect the needs, experiences, and voices of the people they serve.

“No one should have to think about ensuring that their babies have access to developing the foundation upon which all future learning and development will take place.” We’re closing out this season of The Government Fix with Dr. David Johns.

Last month, Code for America shared our Model Medicaid Community Engagement Outreach Notice as part of our Work Requirements Implementation Resources. This plain-language resource is designed to help state agencies notify enrollees who are subject to new work rules about changes to the program. You can find the full toolkit on our website with resources to help state administrators unpack the implications of work requirement policies, and design smart systems and processes that meet the needs of caseworkers and clients. https://lnkd.in/gyAQwE4d

At #CfASummit last week, one theme came up again and again: Artificial intelligence in government isn’t theoretical anymore. It's already reshaping how government functions. Most states are still building the foundation. Our 2026 Government AI Landscape Assessment looks at all 50 states and Washington, DC, and shows where progress is happening and where more work is needed.
