AI tools are evolving from simple chatbots to "agentic" systems that create multi-step plans, execute complex workflows, and make chains of decisions, often hidden from users' view. As vendors increasingly obscure these processes behind sleek interfaces, school districts face a critical accountability gap: How do you verify results or explain decisions when the AI's reasoning is deliberately opaque? This session explores the emerging challenge of agentic AI in public sector operations, where systems autonomously handle tasks from vendor evaluation to budget analysis with minimal transparency. We'll go beyond basic prompt engineering to examine context engineering and how to design verifiable workflows. Through real-world scenarios, you'll learn to identify when AI opacity creates liability, establish accountability checkpoints, and ensure human oversight remains meaningful even as AI grows more autonomous. Leave with practical frameworks for maintaining control and trust as AI shifts from assistant to agent.Attendees will:
• Understand the evolving legal and regulatory landscape for AI in public agencies
• Explore risks and strategic considerations tied to AI in school district operations
• Learn strategies to address AI challenges and responsibly harness its capabilities
• Prepare for indirect impacts of AI adoption by the public and third parties
