Best Practices for Public Sector AI Use Case Inventories
This report outlines best practices for developing transparent, accessible, and standardized public sector AI use case inventories across federal, state, and local governments
The brief details how AI inventories—public records describing how and why government agencies use artificial intelligence—can strengthen transparency, accountability, and public trust when implemented with clear structural and content standards.
It recommends practices such as publishing centralized, searchable, and regularly updated inventories; requiring detailed system information including purpose, data use, risk levels, and oversight; and engaging the public through accessible language and feedback opportunities. The report concludes that robust inventories are essential governance tools that help ensure AI systems in government are fair, responsible, and aligned with democratic values.
