Three programs, one purpose: turn applied AI into civic infrastructure.
A systems approach
AICOE is not organized around initiatives or offerings. It is structured as systems that:

Develop
Applied Capabilities

Integrate
With real-world environments
THE THREE
Civic Language
Model
A long-horizon research program, the CLM is trained on discrete, hyper-local data for hyper-local insight.
Civic
Stack
Applied AI for civic life — work that serves the people running cities and work that serves the people living in them.
AI
Labs
Co-built with a named civic institution in a named domain. The institution brings the problem, the data, and the deployment surface. AICOE brings the AI capability.
How systems interact
Simulations inform lab development.
Lab outputs feed into real-world systems.
Engagements introduce new variables.
Public experiences extend understanding.
Institutional collaborations
Simulations and frameworks
AICOE systems are designed to evolve. The structure is fixed. The work is not.
Why this shape

Civic AI needs three things at once: local data training, tools the community can use, and partnerships that put both to work in the open.
