AI Compliance for Government & Public Sector
Public-sector AI is governed by a stack that begins with OMB M-24-10 (and its successor M-25-21 procurement guidance), which obligates every federal agency to inventory rights-impacting and safety-impacting AI use cases, appoint a Chief AI Officer, and meet specific minimum risk-management practices before deployment. State-level equivalents are accelerating: California's GenAI executive order, Texas TRAIGA's government-use provisions, New York City Local Law 144 for automated employment decision tools, and a growing roster of state Chief AI Officer statutes. Procurement is the chokepoint — GSA's AI guide, the federal AI Use Case Inventory, and FedRAMP's evolving treatment of AI-enabled services mean vendors must produce documentation, model cards, and risk assessments before contract award. The EU AI Act treats public-sector AI as a high-risk category in its own right, with biometric identification, critical infrastructure, and benefits-eligibility decisions singled out. Enforcement and oversight come from agency Inspectors General, GAO, and state legislative auditors who have begun publishing AI-use audit reports. AIGI tracks every primary-source rule, OMB memo, agency inventory entry, procurement guide, and state mandate across federal, state, and local public-sector bodies. As of the most recent update, AIGI tracks 3 primary-source items affecting government & public sector.
Who tracks this?
Typically: Agency General Counsel, Chief AI Officer, or procurement lead in a public-sector body. AIGI is built to put primary-source AI updates affecting government & public sector in front of this role daily — with citation chains, status timelines, and obligation mapping.
