This webinar features Merve Hickok’s groundbreaking book on the public procurement of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, the first such book globally to provide a comprehensive analysis of integrating AI into public infrastructure.
Hickok combines academic research with practical advice for procurement professionals, addressing a significant gap: many governments aim to use AI but lack specific procurement guidelines. She also offers recommendations for guardrails and a due diligence framework for AI procurement.
Hickok’s work has influenced U.S. government strategies and helped draft the first international AI treaty from the Council of Europe. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, policy, and public administration.
