As AI increasingly powers government financial operations from fraud detection to benefits administration, understanding and managing the risks associated with these systems is absolutely critical. This session explores the unique risks AI introduces to government financial management and provides guidance for implementing robust internal controls and security measures.

• AI introduces unique risks to financial management processes, such as model bias, a lack of transparency and automated decision-making, that require tailored control strategies. • Securing AI systems is critical to protect sensitive government financial data from threats like data breaches and the manipulation of algorithms. • It is critical that responding governance, policies and controls are developed and properly implemented.
