The AI Readiness Project, launched by The Rockefeller Foundation and the Center for Civic Futures, is a national initiative to help state and local governments build the capacity, confidence, and shared infrastructure to use artificial intelligence responsibly in public service.
The project supports at least ten state-level pilots in 2026 that test responsible AI applications such as modernizing legacy code and monitoring AI systems, and it is expanding participation from 30-plus states to all 50 states, territories, and Tribal Nations.
Funded by $500,000 in new Rockefeller support as part of more than $18 million invested in public-sector AI, the effort culminates in a State AI Knowledge Hub of case studies, lessons, and tools for governments at every stage of AI readiness.
