AI at work in government,
without the governance risk.
Applied AI for the public sector isn't just a technology problem. It's a governance problem, a procurement problem, and a public trust
problem - all at once. AltaML works across government, health, and post-secondary to deliver public sector AI solutions that hold up to
scrutiny: auditable, explainable, and built to serve citizens responsibly.
GOVERNMENT AI HAS A CREDIBILITY GAP. WE CLOSE IT.
Public sector AI initiatives fail for different reasons than private sector ones. The stakes are higher, the timelines are longer, and the margin for error is smaller. Here's what we hear most often:
Black-box AI in government creates accountability risk. That's why every solution we build ships with documentation, audit trails, and explainability built in. Governance isn't an add-on, it's the foundation.

Computer Vision & Physical Inspection
Computer vision models that surface risks faster and more consistently than manual inspection processes.
A provincial emergency management agency used our risk model to redeploy crews ahead of high-risk days, cutting response times across remote regions.

Alberta's Mountain Pine Beetle detection relied on slow, costly helicopter surveys. We built a model that processes satellite imagery to detect infected trees province-wide.
"I’m genuinely grateful for the opportunity to work with the AltaML GovLab team over several years, both as a collaborator and strong advocate for applied, responsible AI (RAI) in the public sector. What stands out is not just GovLab’s technical expertise, but the team’s clear commitment to RAI. Their dedication to ethical practices, thoughtful governance, and public-interest outcomes is evident in every engagement. They consistently bridge government, industry, and emerging talent, with a focus on real impact over hype."
