Guidelines aim to guide all parties involved in the procurement life cycle of AI. Governments are increasingly seeking to capture the opportunities offered by AI to improve public-sector productivity and the provision of services to the public, and to stimulate the economy. New incidents are emerging of negative consequences arising from the use of AI in areas such as criminal sentencing, law enforcement and even employment opportunities. The guidelines are not intended as a silver bullet for solving all public sector AI-adoption challenges, but by influencing how new solutions are procured, they can set the overarching goal of safeguarding public benefit.
