Photo: Emilee Calametti \/ The Center Square<\/p>\n<p>(The Center Square) \u2013 Artificial intelligence implementation in daily department workflow for the Department of State Treasurer will continue, says first-term Republican Brad Briner.<\/p>\n<p>His office began a year ago trying a pilot program using ChatGPT. Multiple artificial intelligence engines were tested for various cases over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a moral obligation to the taxpayer to use their money wisely,\u201d he said. \u201cThat means improving the efficiency of everything we do as state government, and artificial intelligence is already being used throughout the private sector with stunning results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur 12-week pilot program with OpenAI showed up to 10% increased productivity in certain divisions. We expect that implementing AI tools across the department will replicate that productivity increase across our entire team, leading to a better return for your taxpayer dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strict policy keeps personal and private data \u201csafe and secure,\u201d the treasurer said. Briner says day-to-day tasks are streamlined.<\/p>\n<p>Lawrence Koffa, Information Technology chief information officer, said, \u201cIt\u2019s my team\u2019s responsibility to make sure private and personal information never leaks from our department. Safety and security are paramount. Throughout the last year we have been testing, learning and preparing to help the department launch this broad modernization effort seamlessly. We are excited to help DST employees find ways to modernize their job functions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Five divisions are within the leadership of the office: Financial Operations; Retirement Systems; State Health Plan; State and Local Government Finance; and NCCash, also known as unclaimed property.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated Wed, April 15, 2026 at 5:19 PM UTC A pile of U.S. fifty-dollar bills is displayed.
