AICOE partners with institutions, sponsors, and clients to apply artificial intelligence to their domain.
Three ways to partner
AI Labs
A co-built lab with a named institution in a named domain. The partner brings the problem, the data, and the deployment surface. AICOE brings the AI capability. Each lab is built for a sustained relationship.
AI Strategy
Long-term thought partnership for AI adoption and innovation to navigate emerging technology, identify opportunities and build actionable roadmaps for implementation.
Consulting & Development
Direct project engagements where AICOE works with a client on a defined scope that includes strategy, system design and applied development.
How an engagement unfolds
Most engagements move through three phases
Entry
A partner brings a problem, system, or opportunity. AICOE works to understand the context, the goal, and what success looks like.
Engagement
Active work inside the partner's environment. Analysis, experimentation, applied development. The shape varies by engagement type.
Integration
The work matures into something durable. A partner deployment, system design, or tangible artifact.
Work developed through partnerships often flows into AICOE's broader programs, labs, experiences and publications.
Touchpoints
How this connects to AICOE
Partnerships do not operate in isolation. Work developed through engagements may contribute to
Civic Decision Lab simulations
AI Labs development
Public and private AICOE experiences
Frontier Forum discussions
Scope
AICOE takes a limited number of partnerships each year. Each is chosen for relevance to civic AI, potential impact, and alignment with AICOE's long-term work.
