OECD: report on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the public sector and state government published.

With the publication of the Report Governing with Artificial Intelligence: are governments ready? the OECD reinforces its strategy - part of a broader effort - to ground the responsible use of AI in the public sector, especially in a number of key government functions. The report is very interesting and aims at knowledge sharing, exchange of best practices and structured policy dialogue between member states to understand the implications and guide responsible use of AI in the public sector. It is a document that underlines the growing realisation that, if used strategically and responsibly, artificial intelligence, including generative AI, has the potential to transform the way governments function, design policies and deliver services. The perspective is also particularly original: while the global debate on AI tends to focus on the role of governments as promoters, funders and - above all - regulators in shaping and responding to the application of AI, the report also focuses on states as users and, in some cases, developers of AI.
