## Summary

Steve Orrin, Federal CTO at Intel, discusses the convergence of IoT, AI, and edge computing in the public sector, highlighting how edge processing enables real-time decision-making for smart cities and defense logistics. He explains that while the government demands higher security and reliability standards for edge devices due to their physical exposure, these requirements are increasingly driving commercial innovation in sectors like energy and finance. Orrin advises public sector leaders to accelerate adoption by deploying 'Goldilocks' pilot projects that are impactful but not critical, leveraging commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to manage diverse IoT infrastructures.
