Strategies for Cyber Resilience, AI Governance & Smarter Municipal Decision Making
The National League of Cities has put forward guidance aimed at helping municipal governments strengthen cybersecurity practices, establish AI governance frameworks, and improve data-informed decision making at the local level.
Why this matters: Local governments hold a lot about you — tax records, utilities, permits, court filings, social services. They are also chronically underfunded on IT and often the easiest targets to breach. AI governance at the city level matters because most residents have no idea when their local government is using algorithms to make decisions that affect them. Guidance like this is only useful if cities actually follow it and make their practices visible to the public they serve.
