AI in regulatory agencies: the system finds, the agency decides

Key takeaways

  • Risk-based targeting is public AI's best business case — if the hit rate is measured against a random sample and published.
  • Collusion screening over public procurement data is the region's highest-return untapped application.
  • The line: the system finds; the agency decides. No automated sanctioning, not even by drip.
  • Bias against the small and formal is the specific distributive risk; the distribution metric exposes it.
  • The internal generative rule: human verification of every fact and citation; no administrative act with generative content without substantive review.

Supervising thousands with teams of dozens is public AI's most promising use case — and its most delicate, because the end product is the sanction. Five families of application that pay off, and one line never to cross.
