Overview

EY’s Government & Public Sector (GPS) practice helps federal, state, and international government clients modernize operations and deploy AI responsibly. EY frames AI adoption in government around a disciplined implementation roadmap and a ‘responsible AI’ governance posture, positioning itself between raw technology delivery and the ethics/oversight layer agencies increasingly need. Its public-sector AI work is anchored by a global research program and a dedicated Global Government & Infrastructure AI leadership role.

AI-Focused Regulatory Work

EY’s edge in government AI is process discipline: rather than selling a platform, it sells a way of moving agencies from stalled pilots to measurable public value, backed by one of the largest bodies of survey research on how governments and enterprises actually govern AI. That combination — a repeatable roadmap plus hard data on the implementation gap — is why EY GPS shows up in so many public-sector AI conversations.

Notable AI Policy Work

  • Global research program on data & AI in government, surveying ~500 senior government executives on the ‘implementation gap’ between AI ambition and deployment.
  • EY Responsible AI survey series (975 C-suite leaders, 21 countries) linking responsible-AI governance to better business outcomes.
  • Government AI implementation roadmaps and ‘ideas to impact’ guidance for scaling AI beyond pilots.
  • Digital transformation and citizen-services modernization for federal agencies.
