The premise
AI can draft an AI government procurement checklist covering data residency, training data sources, evaluation results, redress, and exit terms.
What AI does well here
- Convert a public AI risk framework into vendor-facing procurement questions
- Produce a scoring rubric that ties each answer back to a published standard
What AI cannot do
- Score actual vendor responses or make award decisions
- Replace the contracting officer's judgment under public-procurement law
