Designing Ethical AI Workflows for Government & Public Institutions

Executive Summary

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how governments, public agencies, and institutions operate, streamlining service delivery, increasing responsiveness, and enabling data-informed decision-making. But with great capability comes great responsibility.

For public-sector leaders, the challenge isn’t just adopting AI, it’s doing so ethically, transparently, and equitably. Unlike in the private sector, AI adoption in government must navigate complex public interests: civil liberties, accessibility, bias mitigation, due process, and community trust.

This whitepaper provides a roadmap for designing ethical AI workflows tailored to the unique needs of public institutions. We explore how government agencies can responsibly implement AI without compromising public trust or compliance. You’ll learn how to align AI workflows with public values, assess risks, and design inclusive systems that serve all constituents.
