Host Jamie Garvin explores how artificial intelligence is transforming municipal government in Maine. From chatbots that answer resident questions at all hours, to predictive systems that help towns anticipate road repairs, to automated permitting that cuts weeks off waiting times, technology is reshaping how communities connect with local services.
Guests Kyle Hadyniak, Director of Communications and IT for the Town of Gray, and Brian McDonald, Director of IT and Administration at the Maine Municipal Association, discuss the opportunities and challenges of this digital shift—and what it means for residents and local governments alike.
