AI Government Playbook
A practical, agency-ready guide for adopting AI safely, effectively, and with clear public-sector outcomes.
Overview
A comprehensive, public-sector-ready guide that walks government leaders through AI adoption—from citizen-service chatbots to predictive infrastructure maintenance, fraud detection, intelligent document processing, and data-driven policy insights. The playbook includes real case studies (Memphis, Colorado, U.S. Treasury) alongside a structured roadmap for evaluating data readiness, building business cases, selecting procurement paths, running pilots, training the workforce, and establishing ethical governance. It also addresses barriers like limited budgets, outdated systems, privacy, transparency, and public trust. The included AI Readiness Checklist provides a practical self-assessment tool for agencies beginning or accelerating their AI journey.
