Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) currently holds the spotlight amongst the interdisciplinary research fields that transcend the realm of academia. AI methods are enabled by a wide variety of technologies, methods and data, presenting a number of opportunities and challenges in a public decision-making context that differ by context of application. While the regulatory landscape surrounding AI governance is a pressing problem for scholars, the literature has often overlooked the role of the government as a user of AI. This article presents a classification framework for AI applications that facilitates the work in public sector (in the role of user) deployment. With our framework, we try to provide a lens to different deployment-related questions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
