MAIN works alongside the Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services (ITS) and partners like AWS to help agencies adopt AI practically and responsibly. MAIN runs hands-on workshops for state employees and a statewide Innovation Hub that turns agency use cases into working solutions. As Mississippi’s coordinated statewide AI initiative, the first of its kind in the nation, MAIN is the public sector’s front door to AI in Mississippi.
