Local and national governments are spending $millions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to support efficiency and reform in service delivery, and new AI features are being offered in many of the existing tools governments use.
On the morning of Monday 6th October we co-hosted a fringe event of the OGP Global Summit to explore the role of procurement in shaping AI in government, and the role of public participation in shaping AI procurement, launching the Principles for Public Participation in the Procurement of AI (P4AI)
More detail
In this fringe event of the OGP Global Summit we presented a new set of principles for Public Participation in AI Procurement drawing on the Participation AI “Stakeholder Engagement in Public Procurement for Artificial Intelligence Mission-Oriented Playbook” - as well as practical methods for involving diverse groups at different stages of the procurement lifecycle.
Who was it for?
- OGP Contact Points - Looking to develop effective national or local OGP commitments on AI;
- Public procurement practitioners - Looking to understand opportunities and challenges around engaging public stakeholders across the procurement cycle;
- Open contacting / procurement transparency advocates and campaigners - Looking to explore approaches to participatory procurement;
