Artificial intelligence is changing the financial risk landscape for state and local government. As AI makes it easier to create convincing receipts, invoices, vendor documentation, and other financial records, traditional controls and manual review processes may be increasingly challenged to identify what is legitimate, what is an error, and what could signal fraud. At the same time, AI and automation are giving government finance teams new ways to strengthen oversight. By identifying unusual spending patterns, flagging potential policy violations, detecting anomalies earlier, and focusing attention on higher-risk transactions, emerging technologies can help organizations move from reactive review toward more proactive financial controls. Learning Objectives: Understand how AI is changing the nature and sophistication of financial fraud Identify where manual processes and traditional controls may leave gaps in detection and oversight Outline how AI and automation can help identify anomalies, policy exceptions, and potential fraud earlier Evaluate ways to strengthen financial controls without adding unnecessary administrative burden List key considerations for balancing AI-enabled capabilities with governance, transparency, and human oversigh

Facility managers are being asked to make critical space and real estate decisions with incomplete or inconsistent information. Departments want more space, Finance is questioning real estate costs and HR wants to understand the impact of hybrid work. The challenge is often not a lack of space, but a lack of reliable space intelligence. This session will explore how a structured space management database can turn scattered information into trusted intelligence. Learn how to define space, establish consistent data standards and connect inventory, occupancy, utilization, capacity and cost data to support better decisions. Explore how space can become a common framework connecting HR, IT, IWMS, CMMS, BIM and real estate data – creating opportunities for AI to move beyond static reports toward actionable recommendations. Learning Objectives Define the value of space intelligence for facility and real estate decisions. Identify the data needed to understand space, occupancy, utilization and capacity. Build a business case using administrative, operational and strategic ROI. Develop a practical implementation approach, including data governance and a minimum viable database. Identify opportunities to connect space data with other systems and leverage AI for actionable recommendations.
