AGENTIC AI SOLUTIONS FOR THE
Public Sector
Improve service delivery, automate high-volume government workflows, and enhance operational efficiency with secure, compliant AI built for public sector teams.
What’s Keeping Public Sector Leaders Up at Night
Service expectations keep rising, systems are getting older, and teams are having to do more with less. Across federal, provincial, and municipal governments, leaders are looking for realistic ways to improve efficiency and reduce friction—without adding more work to already stretched teams.
of people say government services are not meeting their needs, while 75% expect digital services to perform like leading private-sector experiences.
Critical Challenges
Operational Inefficiency
Manual, paper-heavy processes and repeat data entry slow down service delivery and tie up staff on tasks AI could handle in minutes.
Outdated Systems and Fragmented Data
Old technology and scattered data reduce efficiency, driving up administrative costs and leading to inconsistent public service delivery.
Rising Compliance and Reporting Demands
Regulatory requirements pull teams into time-consuming documentation and reporting, leaving less time for core public service work.
Persistent Workforce Shortages
Skills gaps and turnover make it tough to keep up with demand. AI can help teams focus on higher-value work, instead of being buried in manual tasks.

Public Sector Innovation in Action
“Our partnership with AltaML through GovLab has helped us cement Alberta’s place as a dominant player in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and our position as an innovation hub. It is also helping us optimize government operations and apply AI-driven solutions to everyday challenges. Whether it is the Wildfire Prediction model, predicting enrolment growth in schools, or detecting grey trees, we are rising to the challenges that face Alberta. These AI-driven solutions also mean Alberta is creating solutions that can be exported globally, while we continue to deliver better, faster, and smarter services to all Albertans.”
Nate Glubish Minister of Technology and Innovation Government of Alberta
“Alberta is leading the way in upskilling talent for an increasingly digital economy and through Mitacs’ partnership with innovation leaders like GovLab, we’re proud to play a part in the province’s success. Now, in our second year of collaboration with GovLab, we can see even more the importance of supporting talent and providing opportunities for training and working with artificial intelligence. These projects have the potential to impact the future in Alberta and beyond. It’s exciting to be a part of.”
