What happened
The state and city of Massachusetts introduced new AI programs for their workers on October 21, 2026. A survey of about 100,000 government workers found less than a quarter used AI weekly, which is about half the rate seen in the private sector.

Why it matters
Economists note that AI is already increasing worker productivity. The slow adoption in government workplaces, however, could mean the public sector misses out on efficiency improvements and saving taxpayer dollars.
