ActaMSP’s AI training wins Texas certification for government employees

ActaMSP says its Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals and Responsible Use program has been certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources for state and local government staff. The approval matters because Texas law requires certain public employees and officials to complete certified AI awareness training.

Why it matters: - Texas law requires certain state and local government employees and officials to complete a certified artificial intelligence awareness training program. - DIR certification means ActaMSP’s course can help public-sector workers meet that requirement. - The approval adds a state-recognized option for AI awareness training focused on responsible use, risks and limitations.

What happened: - ActaMSP announced that its Artificial Intelligence Fundamentals and Responsible Use training program has been certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources. - DIR reviewed the program and found that it meets state-established criteria for AI awareness training content. - The certification is for state and local government employees in Texas.

The details: - Texas Government Code Sections 2054.5191 and 2054.5193 require certain state and local government employees and officials to complete certified AI awareness training. - DIR certifies eligible training programs in consultation with the Public Sector AI Systems Advisory Board. - ActaMSP’s program covers AI concepts, practical applications, risks, limitations and responsible-use considerations. - The training is designed to help public-sector professionals better understand emerging AI technologies and use them responsibly in day-to-day work. - DIR certification applies to the program content and does not extend to other regulatory or statutory requirements.

Between the lines: - ActaMSP is positioning the course as practical compliance training, not just an overview of AI trends. - The certification also gives ActaMSP a foothold in the public-sector AI education market as Texas agencies look for approved training options. - The company is pairing the government-focused course with broader AI education aimed at business leaders.

What's next: - ActaMSP will continue its Leadership AI workshop series for small and medium-sized business owners and senior executives. - The workshops are offered throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area and Little Rock, Arkansas. - ActaMSP says the workshops focus on real-world SMB use cases, guardrails, protecting competitive information and building an AI adoption strategy. - The company also plans to keep publishing articles on practical AI adoption and experimentation for business leaders. - Upcoming workshop dates, locations and registration details are available through ActaMSP Leadership AI Workshops.
