How Medium-Sized Cities Are Tackling AI Readiness
L to R: Mark Muro, senior fellow at Brookings Metro; Micah Runner, city manager of Rancho Cordova; Sadie St. Lawrence, CEO of the Human Machine Collaboration Institute; and Frankie McDermott, chief operating officer of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. A panel discussion today at GTC Washington, D.C., highlighted a public-private initiative to invigorate the economy of Rancho Cordova, California, with a focus on AI.
To bolster innovation, the city is working with the Human Machine Collaboration Institute and NVIDIA on an economic development strategy that includes AI education initiatives, investments in AI infrastructure and support for small businesses adopting AI.
We're the city of Rancho Cordova. We are not experts in artificial intelligence. We are not experts in semiconductors, said Micah Runner, city manager of Rancho Cordova. And so you find good partners, and you have to trust them in the space that they know and they're responsible for.
The city sees its strategy as one that can be replicated nationwide.
There are only 20 large cities in the country, but there are tens of thousands of medium and small cities - and I think we have to figure out how to create an equal playing field for all of those communities, Runner said.

AI Day of Education: GTC Kicks Off With Training Workshops, Gear Store Truck Tours Universities GTC Washington, D.C., begins with a series of full-day developer workshops at the Walter E.

Howard University, 12:30-2:30 p.m. ET

Friday, Oct. 24, 5 p.m.
Countdown to GTC Washington, DC: What to Watch Next Week Next week, Washington, D.C., becomes the center of gravity for artificial intelligence. NVIDIA GTC Washington, D.C., lands at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center Oct. 27-29 - and for those who care about where computing is headed, this is the moment to pay attention.
The headline act: NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang's keynote address on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 12 p.m. ET. Expect more than product news - expect a roadmap for how AI will reshape industries, infrastructure and the public sector.
Before that, the pregame show kicks off at 8:30 a.m. ET with Brad Gerstner, Patrick Moorhead and Kristina Partsinevelos offering sharp takes on what's coming.
But GTC offers more than a keynote. It provides full immersion: 70+ sessions, hands-on workshops and demos covering everything from agentic AI and robotics to quantum computing and AI-native telecom networks. It's where developers meet decision-makers, and ideas turn into action. Exhibits-only passes are still available.
Bookmark this space. Starting Monday, NVIDIA will live-blog the news, the color and the context, straight from the floor.
