San Jose trains 1,000+ employees to develop AI solutions

San Jose developed a 10-week AI training programme in partnership with San Jose State University that has equipped over 1,000 municipal employees with skills to create their own AI-powered tools. Employees across IT, Transportation, and Fire departments have built practical AI assistants that streamline workflows, reduce processing time, and improve service delivery. The programme represents a deliberate shift toward building internal AI capacity rather than relying solely on external vendors.
