AI Procurement in a Box

Last Updated: May 2022
The promises of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies lie beyond our imaginations and the risks accompanying them remain impossible to forecast. Government officials working in procurement can’t be expected to possess the most up-to-date knowledge in this increasingly specialized field. As a result, safeguarding the responsible use of AI technologies requires a multistakeholder effort.
Now is the time to create a set of actionable procurement guidelines to enable good decision-making that can also be evaluated. This project provides a guidebook designed to unlock public-sector adoption of AI through government procurement and a set of complementary tools to demonstrate the emerging global consensus on the responsible deployment of AI technologies.
