The Texas Association of Counties' podcast, Texas County Voice, offers insightful conversations on issues affecting Texas counties. Its latest episode features a discussion with Robert Ruiz, Associate Director of TAC's Risk Management Services, about artificial intelligence.

The conversation is built around Ruiz’s recent conference presentation, "Demystifying AI for County Leaders." Ruiz breaks down the fundamentals of AI and shares real-world examples of AI applications in county operations. He stresses the importance of pragmatic and cautious AI implementation and addresses the critical intersection of AI and cybersecurity.

This month, Texas County Voice was honored for the second year in a row with the top podcasting award from the National Association of County Information Officers. The award-winning episode, produced and hosted by TAC Communications staff member Julie Chang, profiled Randall County Commissioner Eric Barry's unique background as an opera singer.
