Deploy responsible AI across public sector operations. Meet Executive Order, OMB M-24-10, and international AI governance requirements while protecting citizen data and maintaining public trust.
Government agencies face unique AI governance challenges that impact national security, civil rights, and public trust in democratic institutions.
Government employees across agencies are using ChatGPT, AI coding assistants, and generative AI tools with sensitive and classified data. Citizen PII, law enforcement records, defence information, and policy deliberations are flowing into commercial AI services without security controls or oversight.
Classified and sensitive government data in commercial AI services creates national security and privacy risks.
AI systems used in benefits eligibility, immigration processing, law enforcement, and public service delivery can embed and amplify bias. Algorithmic discrimination in government decisions carries constitutional implications and directly undermines public trust in democratic institutions.
Biased AI in government decisions can violate civil rights, due process, and anti-discrimination protections.
Government staff are adopting AI tools without authorisation -- from AI writing assistants for policy documents to code generation tools for IT systems. Without visibility, agencies cannot meet Executive Order and OMB requirements for AI use case inventories and risk assessments.
Undetected Shadow AI makes compliance with OMB M-24-10 AI inventory requirements impossible.
Government AI governance spans executive orders, federal mandates, and international frameworks. Here are the requirements your agency must address.
The 2023 Executive Order requires federal agencies to appoint Chief AI Officers, complete AI use case inventories, implement risk management frameworks, conduct impact assessments for rights-impacting and safety-impacting AI, and ensure transparency in AI-driven government decisions. Agencies must align governance structures with NIST AI Risk Management Framework guidelines.
OMB Memorandum M-24-10 establishes binding requirements for federal agencies: AI governance structures with designated Chief AI Officers, identification and management of AI risks with minimum practices for rights-impacting AI, AI use case inventories with compliance deadlines, and adequate safeguards before deploying AI that impacts rights or safety. Non-compliance can require ceasing use of non-compliant AI systems.
The Australian Government's AI Ethics Framework establishes eight principles for responsible AI: human, societal and environmental wellbeing; human-centred values; fairness; privacy and security; reliability and safety; transparency and explainability; contestability; and accountability. The Voluntary AI Safety Standard adds 10 guardrails increasingly referenced in government procurement.
The EU AI Act classifies many government AI applications as high-risk, including AI in law enforcement, migration management, administration of justice, and democratic processes. High-risk AI systems require conformity assessments, risk management systems, human oversight mechanisms, data governance protocols, and registration in the EU AI database before deployment.
Purpose-built AI governance that meets public sector requirements for transparency, accountability, and responsible AI deployment.
Meet OMB M-24-10 and Executive Order requirements with automated AI discovery across the agency. Aona builds and maintains a comprehensive, real-time inventory of every AI tool in use -- sanctioned and unsanctioned -- supporting Chief AI Officer reporting obligations.
Automated compliance with OMB AI inventory mandatesApply AI-native DLP controls that prevent citizen PII, law enforcement records, classified information, and sensitive policy documents from leaking into unauthorized AI services. Policies enforce automatically with no manual intervention required.
Prevent sensitive government data from entering commercial AIProduce reports mapped to Executive Order requirements, OMB M-24-10 mandates, NIST AI RMF guidelines, and applicable international frameworks. Audit trails capture every AI interaction for congressional oversight, inspector general reviews, and Chief AI Officer reporting.
One-click compliance reports for EO, OMB, and NIST AI RMFDon't block AI -- govern it. Give agency staff access to approved, security-vetted AI tools while protecting sensitive data and maintaining compliance. Enable productivity and mission effectiveness without security or compliance risk.
Mission-effective AI adoption with full governance controlsAutomate AI inventories, protect sensitive data, meet Executive Order and OMB requirements, and enable mission-effective AI adoption.
