Governing with Artificial Intelligence
Are governments ready?
OECD countries are increasingly investing in better understanding the potential value
of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve public governance. The use of AI
by the public sector can increase productivity, responsiveness of public services,
and strengthen the accountability of governments. However, governments must also mitigate
potential risks, building an enabling environment for trustworthy AI. This policy
paper outlines the key trends and policy challenges in the development, use, and deployment
of AI in and by the public sector. First, it discusses the potential benefits and
specific risks associated with AI use in the public sector. Second, it looks at how
AI in the public sector can be used to improve productivity, responsiveness, and accountability.
Third, it provides an overview of the key policy issues and presents examples of how
countries are addressing them across the OECD.
