From Hype to How-To: Generative AI’s Evolving Role in Procurement

New technology can feel daunting, especially when there are major unknowns about how emerging technology might change procurement jobs, processes, and policies. While some procurement teams are already experimenting with generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) tools, others are still in wait-and-see mode when it comes to integrating AI into procurement tasks or operations.
Join the Procurement Excellence Network for a 60-minute session on the intersection of generative AI and procurement operations: the opportunities, the limitations, and how jurisdictions can leverage emerging technology strategically and safely. The session will highlight early use cases related to market research, solicitation drafting, and contract management. Our team will also present frameworks for piloting gen AI in procurement operations that minimize risk, while considering how to assess the value of emerging technologies to make procurement tasks easier and quicker. We’ll close with a brief breakout activity to help participants brainstorm action steps.
Post-Event Session: We invite you to participate in an optional 30-minute discussion following the event for open dialogue with peer governments and PPG staff on experiences, best practices, and strategies for incorporating AI tools into your procurement practice.
