ACT-IAC Customer Experience COI March 2026

Tuesday, March 24, 2026 - 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM EDT

Join the ACT-IAC Customer Experience COI member meeting featuring the topic "AI in Action: Enabling Smarter Service Interactions." Discover how AI is transforming government interactions and empowering faster, more personal service to citizens in every interaction. 

Government service interactions are being compared with the best experiences people have in the private sector, fast, digital-first, and increasingly personalized. People now assume 24/7 access, clear status updates, and minimal effort, particularly on routine questions. The volume and scale of citizen service needs are straining traditional models, with even the most well-run contact centers and service teams overwhelmed by spikes, seasonality, policy changes, and downstream impacts of limited staffing.

That reality makes the case for AI as a practical capacity multiplier, handling routine intents, accelerating triage, and supporting agents so humans can focus on more complex and higher-value cases. People often have multi-part problems tied to benefits eligibility, life events, and cross-agency journeys. AI can help by making service smarter at the point of need.

Hear how agencies are harnessing AI for better intent detection, guided next-best actions, retrieval of authoritative answers, and smarter routing, reinforced by America’s AI Action Plan.
