How to Work with the CIC

Does your organization have a pressing mission-related challenge? Maybe the CIC can help. 

With the rapid and widespread adoption of AI and ML worldwide, the CIC is dedicated to helping public sector organizations innovate with AI to deliver on their missions and meet the changing needs of their constituents, students, beneficiaries, and patients.

The CIC has already helped create and deploy a generative AI-powered chatbot to help local organizations get real-time support to address cybersecurity risks, a resume analyzer for ASU, and a tool to query medical documents for a local medical center. See more solutions.
