Responsible AI in Government and Public Policy
AI may assist with document organization, summarization, translation drafts, policy-option generation, comparison matrices, public-comment classification, scenario generation, timeline construction, drafting, evidence mapping, administrative automation, and data-visualization concepts.
AI must not be treated as
- An original source or a final legal or policy authority.
- A substitute for democratic accountability or professional judgment.
- Proof of citizen misconduct or fraud.
- A basis for automated punishment without due process or human appeal.
AI must never be used to
- Fabricate law, government data, public consultation, or citizen feedback.
- Manipulate citizens or unlawfully profile protected communities.
- Make secret high-stakes decisions or deny services without lawful review.
- Conceal vendor influence, bypass procurement, or expose confidential data.
Every government AI use case must document
- Public purpose; legal authority; data source; affected population.
- Risk level; potential bias; privacy risk; cybersecurity risk.
- Human oversight; appeal route; audit mechanism.
- Vendor responsibility; transparency requirement; shutdown or rollback procedure.
