# D.C. and Indiana Expand Responsible AI Services

Technology leaders in Washington, D.C., and Indiana described expanding responsible AI use in resident-facing services and employee workflows, supported by AI governance, staff training, cloud modernization, and customer feedback. No solicitation, contract award, funding amount, or procurement contact was identified, so this is a market signal rather than an active bid opportunity. For government buyers and contractors, it points to potential demand for AI-enabled service delivery, cloud infrastructure, workforce training, and customer-experience solutions.

- State and local procurement teams can use these initiatives to shape future requirements around AI governance, employee readiness, and resident feedback.
- Contractors can position solutions that connect responsible AI adoption with cloud modernization and practical service-delivery use cases; Indiana CIO Robert Fulk emphasized starting with particular use cases and small successes.
- The signals identify no open procurement or funding, so companies should treat the activity as market intelligence, not as a current solicitation.
