The Public Sector Guide to Generative AI

For public sector agencies, mission delivery depends on the ability to process vast amounts of information quickly, accurately, and transparently. Whether managing complex litigation, responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, conducting investigations, or crafting policy and rulemaking, government legal, records, and compliance teams are tasked with performing data-intensive processes under intense scrutiny. Generative AI offers new ways to support their mission, not by replacing staff expertise, but by extending capacity in review tasks where oversight and defensibility are essential.

This white paper explores the growing role of generative AI in the public sector and provides a practical framework for understanding, evaluating, and adopting generative AI solutions in a secure and defensible way. From building organizational support to defining what success looks like, this is a resource for agencies seeking to responsibly apply technology in a time of rapid change.
