In November 2023, the GovAI Coalition was established to give local government a voice in shaping the future of AI and ensure that AI development is geared toward the benefit of society.

The GovAI Coalition is composed of over 1,500 members and over 500 local, state, and federal agencies united in our mission to promote responsible and purposeful AI in the public sector.

The GovAI Coalition is committed to:

Using AI for social good,
Ensuring ethical, non-discriminatory, and responsible AI governance,
Promoting vendor accountability,
Improving government services, and
Fostering cross-agency collaboration and knowledge sharing.

More information about the mission and work of the GovAI Coalition can be found in the Coalition’s Open Letter. Public agencies and members of civil society, academia, and the private sector may sign up to become involved with the Coalition below, under “How to Join”.

About Us

As a majority of government agencies are looking towards AI to improve services, our Coalition strives towards a more just and beneficial technological future for all. From generating real-time translations of public meetings to predicting traffic patterns for improved bus routes, AI tools have the potential to make government services more responsive, efficient, and accessible to all.

AI also poses serious risks. Racial discrimination, violations of privacy, and threats to safety are well-documented harms of AI systems used without guardrails. To improve the lives of all residents while protecting our communities against AI risks, it is vital that public agencies establish safeguards for the responsible use of AI.

Over the next year, we will focus on supporting agencies as they implement their own AI governance programs, advocating for responsible AI at all levels of government, and sharing effective AI use cases.
