A busy few days in the Bay Area this week for Secretary Tong and the entire GovOps team. The Secretary just wrapped up speaking at the Bay Area Council's Pacific Summit about the GenAI work happening across state government. This came after sharing about people-to-people exchange for mutual understanding at the Bay to Bay Dialogue. She joined GE Wei of the University of Macao, Professor Peng Gong with the University of Hong Kong, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and Frederick Hong, Co-President of the LA-Guangzhou Sister City Association for the panel discussion. In between all this was the long awaited Joint California Summit on GenAI where she joined Governor Gavin Newsom, administration colleagues and our partners from UC Berkeley and Stanford for conversations about how to collaborate on and examine this transformative technology. It was a very succesful few days and not possible without the GovOps team.
