    Episode 4: Human at the Helm: Nevada’s AI Policy Update with Michael Hanna-Butros Meyering

    Artificial intelligence is no longer just a future workplace question. It is already appearing in the tools public servants use, the documents agencies draft, the meetings teams summarize, the contracts government reviews, and the services residents rely on. In this episode of Tech Talks with Tim, Nevada State CIO Timothy Galluzi discusses the proposed update to Nevada’s executive branch policy on the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence. The episode also previews State AI Roundtable II: Human at the Helm, a working discussion designed to gather practical feedback before the draft policy moves through final revision and approval. The conversation explores what it means to keep humans accountable for AI-supported work, why the 2024 policy baseline needs to evolve, and how government should approach emerging issues such as agentic AI, large language models, uploaded files, public records, data classification, procurement, vendor requirements, public-facing synthetic media, training, incident reporting, and public trust. State AI Roundtable II: Human at the Helm Tuesday, July 7, 2026 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM Guinn Room, State Capitol Building 101 N. Carson St., Carson City, NV 89701 Event page: https://www.it.nv.gov/events/state-ai-roundtable2/ Registration: https://forms.office.com/g/sJzXvgVaj1 Draft policy feedback form: https://forms.office.com/g/uhRN4ijGUW Key themes: • AI may assist the work, but people remain accountable. • Responsible innovation requires privacy, security, transparency, and records discipline. • Agentic AI raises new questions about approval, oversight, logging, and human review. • Procurement and vendor terms are part of AI governance. • Public trust depends on making AI use explainable, reviewable, and accountable. Human at the helm. Public trust at the center.

    ERP Modernization, Governance, and Leadership with Brian Bowles | Tech Talks with Tim Ep. 2

    In this episode of Tech Talks with Tim, Nevada State CIO Tim Galluzi sits down with Brian Bowles, Director of the Office of Project Management, for a practical conversation about ERP modernization in state government. ERP stands for enterprise resource planning. In plain English, it is the system that helps government manage core business functions like finance, human resources, and operations. It may not be flashy, but it is foundational. Tim and Brian discuss what it took to reset a struggling implementation, rebuild around strong project management, treat the vendor as a true partner, and keep moving toward a more standardized “One Nevada” approach. They also talk about organizational change management, cybersecurity benefits that come from simplification, how governance changes once a project becomes an operational product, and why the future of ERP may include safe, secure AI tools that help employees learn faster and make better decisions. The episode closes on a simple piece of leadership advice that still does a lot of heavy lifting: be kind.
