New Jersey Chief Technology Officer Dave Weinstein spoke about the growing cyberthreat against the state, and how automation could help the resource-constrained state.
TRENTON, NJ — Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI) are the future of state IT, according to New Jersey Chief Technology Officer Dave Weinstein. While working in the executive branch to help modernize and secure critical systems, Weinstein admits that the state is generally still in a “fact-finding, data-gathering mode.”

And it’s no secret that the size of the workforce is going to shrink, he said at Government Technology’s New Jersey Digital Government Summit, held last week in Trenton. “We need to automate as many tasks as possible, particularly as it relates to continuous monitoring. Don’t be surprised if New Jersey is the first state to appoint a chief AI officer.”
