Bridging the Gap: Using Data and AI to Advance Economic Mobility

Cities have a critical role to play in creating pathways to economic mobility—but too often, the data and systems that could help identify and support residents in need are fragmented or underutilized.

This 90-minute virtual summit will explore how local governments can use data and AI together to drive more equitable economic outcomes—by surfacing gaps, targeting services more effectively, and ensuring residents can access the tools and programs that move them toward financial stability and long-term opportunity.

From predictive analytics to AI-powered service delivery, this event will show how cities are modernizing their approach to economic mobility using technology that’s smart, ethical, and community-centered.
