Learn about the bookCurrent Projects
Beth's work focuses on building practical models for governing and deploying democratic AI in the public interest.
Her current projects integrate public sector training, product development, civic education, and writing to strengthen democratic institutions in the AI era.
INNOVATEUS
InnovateUS provides no-cost, live and self-paced training in data, digital, innovation, and AI skills for public professionals. Working with government leaders, it designs and delivers skill-based learning that strengthens institutional capacity. In Spring 2026, Beth is moderating the InnovateUS workshop series on Practical Strategies for Buying and Building Public AI
Observatory of Public Sector AI
The Observatory draws on anonymized data from more than 150,000 public servants nationwide. By analyzing how public employees learn, use, and adapt AI at work, the Observatory aims to identify which investments in skills and training strengthen government capacity, improve services, and deliver better outcomes for residents.
AI for Impact
AI for Impact develops and deploys AI tools for government agencies and civic organizations. Each product addresses a specific operational challenge, from accessing institutional knowledge and improving benefits access to streamlining procurement and public communication. Built in partnership with public institutions, these tools model community-centered AI development. AI for Impact Fellows receive training in curricula Beth has developed, including Public Entrepreneurship and Solving Public Problems.
Civic AI: Powerful Tools for Community Action
This course teaches families and community members how to use generative AI to navigate civic needs—such as benefits, government forms, and rights—and to organize collectively to address community challenges. Participants gain practical AI literacy and the skills to evaluate, design, and advocate for tools that serve their communities.
Designing Democratic Engagement for the AI Era
Designed for public professionals globally, this course equips institutions with practical, design-focused methods for consultation, deliberation, and co-creation. The focus is on helping governments listen more effectively and incorporate public input in ways that improve legitimacy and decision-making.
Writing on Democratic AI
Through the Reboot blog, Beth examines how institutions can move beyond reactive regulation toward proactive design, governance, and deployment of AI in the public interest. Reboot features original essays from global thought leaders and news on democratic AI
About Beth
Beth Simone Noveck is a professor at Northeastern University. She directs The Governance Lab and the Burnes Center for Social Change. Her work focuses on institutional innovation and the responsible design and use of collective intelligence and artificial intelligence to strengthen democratic institutions.
Noveck previously served as Deputy Chief Technology Officer in the White House under President Barack Obama, where she led the Open Government Initiative. In that role, she helped design policies and platforms—including data.gov and challenge.gov—that increased transparency, participation, and collaboration in government.
She has since served as a senior advisor on open government and digital transformation to leaders in the United States and internationally, including work with the 10 Downing Street and German Chancellor Merkel’s Digital Council. In New Jersey, she served as founding Chief Innovation Officer and later as the state’s first Chief AI Strategist, where she led efforts to apply emerging technologies to improve service delivery and public problem-solving.
Noveck founded InnovateUS, philanthropically-funded, evidence-based learning for public professionals by public professionals. InnovateUS delivers at-your-own-pace courses and live workshops for learners in 80 countries and across the United States. Currently, Beth is working with global experts in 24 countries to design a new course on AI and public engagement and leading a workshop series on Building and Buying Public AI.
She also launched AI for Impact, where Fellows build open source AI products with government partners. AI for Impact builds products that strengthen democratic institutions while creating public interest technology jobs for the next generation of problem solver. Check out what we are building here.
Earlier in her career, Noveck created one of the first platforms for online deliberation known as Unchat and Peer-to-Patent, which connected experts with policymakers to improve public decision-making.
She is the author of multiple books on governance and innovation, including Reboot: AI and the Race to Save Democracy (Yale University Press, 2026), Solving Public Problems (Yale University Press, 2021), which was named a Best Book of the Year by Stanford Social Innovation Review, and Smart Citizens, Smarter State (Harvard University Press, 2016).

In many corners, we’ve come to accept the notion that government can’t do new things or solve tough challenges, that it’s too big and slow and bureaucratic. It doesn’t have to be that way, says former public official, now Harvard Business School professor, Mitchell Weiss. The truth is that entrepreneurial spirit and savvy in government can be harnessed to transform the response to big problems at all levels.
