AI-Powered Procurement: Harnessing AI’s Potential for More Efficient State Procurement Practices
Public procurement in state governments can be slow and inefficient, but artificial intelligence (AI) offers a solution by automating tasks, improving decision-making, and addressing workforce gaps, as highlighted in a joint brief by NASCIO and NASPO.
Public procurement is a critical function in state governments, responsible for acquiring the goods, services and technologies needed to support public service delivery. However, the procurement process can be slow and inefficient, particularly when it comes to acquiring advanced technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to these challenges by automating routine tasks, reducing manual workloads and enabling public sector employees to focus on more strategic and value-added activities. AI’s ability to streamline operations, enhance decision-making and improve service delivery makes it a critical tool for addressing the workforce gaps in state governments. This brief is a joint project between the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) and the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO).
