Governing Prediction

What questions should public professionals ask before adopting a predictive system? How should agencies evaluate performance, monitor outcomes, and maintain accountability when predictive tools are used to inform decisions? This session examines practical approaches to procurement, oversight, transparency, monitoring, and governance. Participants will leave with a framework for ensuring that predictive systems augment rather than replace human judgment and that public-sector decisions remain accountable, explainable, and aligned with public values.
