Government agencies are confronting a new era of challenges in extracting value from their data. As the volume and velocity of data from mission and operations, cybersecurity systems, IoT and edge devices, cloud application traces, and now generative AI keep growing, agency leaders need more effective ways to capitalize on the value of all that data.

Stephen O'Brien, Head of Product at Tines, joined top federal program executives and IT leaders at the Elastic Public Sector Summit 2024 to learn firsthand how advances in data management, search, and analytics capabilities are helping agencies turn data into mission value faster and more productively for citizens and government employees.

In this interview, O'Brien answered the following questions:
1. How will generative AI affect government operations and decision-making processes, and what steps are agencies taking to prepare for this new era?
2. Can you share examples of how your organization is leveraging AI to enhance citizen services and operational efficiency?

This interview is part of a series filmed in conjunction with the Elastic Public Sector Summit 2024 held on March 13, 2024, in Arlington, V.A.
