CIO Timothy Galluzi says the state launched Copilot across the executive branch and highlights AI tools supporting call centers plus AI enhancements to cybersecurity platforms and code review as the highest-impact AI work—arguing defenders must use AI because attackers do. He also ties IT priorities to 2025 special-session legislation enabling whole-of-state cybersecurity collaboration beyond the executive branch.","sledRelevance":"State shared-services Copilot and contact-center AI claims from an A-grade CIO, useful for workforce-productivity and resident-service channel discussions, with explicit linkage to whole-of-state cyber operating models.","evidence":"GovTech Digital States Q&A; qualitative self-report without seat counts, deflection, or time-saved KPIs in the opened interview.","architectureImplications":"Enterprise Copilot for executive-branch users; AI assist in call-center stacks; AI-enhanced cyber tooling and code review; potential service expansion to non-executive governmental entities.","governanceImplications":"Whole-of-state cyber collaboration authority from 2025 special session; CIO framing of AI as defensive necessity alongside productivity tools.","securityPrivacyImplications":"AI for cyber defense and code review emphasized; data-classification burden reduction flagged as GenAI opportunity; detailed control baselines not published here.","caveats":"No quantitative Copilot adoption or call-center outcome metrics in this interview; “amazing results” is qualitative.

Bound engagements to measurement design and cyber/code-review guardrails; do not sell guaranteed contact-center deflection from this interview alone.","engineering":"Engineering framing: plan Copilot as an executive-branch productivity layer with separate evaluation tracks for contact-center AI and AI-assisted secure SDLC.
