R20-5

Accepted February 2020

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

Government should use its purchasing power in the market to set procurement requirements that ensure that private companies developing AI solutions for the public sector appropriately address public standards. This should be achieved by ensuring provisions for ethical standards are considered early in the procurement process and explicitly written into tenders and contractual arrangements.

Government response

The Office for AI seconded an official to the Centre and collaborated on co-designing Guidelines for AI procurement to unlock AI adoption in the public sector.
