Request a government AI expertAI in government and public-sector contexts
Federal, state, and local agencies deploy AI across functions like benefits eligibility, criminal justice risk assessment, procurement, surveillance, and national security. The technical complexity and high stakes of public-sector decisions drive demand for expert witnesses who evaluate AI system performance, compliance, and procurement in litigation. Expert technical analysis focuses on system performance, design, and testing, while legal conclusions, liability, and court admission are determined by counsel and the court.
The firm's network considers professionals with direct experience in government contracting, AI deployed in law enforcement and investigations, and the technical and procedural rules governing public procurement. Expert work must be documented and methodologically transparent, as courts independently assess admissibility rather than guaranteeing that opinions withstand scrutiny.
Key dispute types
AI procurement disputes
A government contractor disputes a contract award or termination for an AI system, or challenges technical proposal evaluations. The expert analyzes technical requirements, evaluation methods, and whether the agency's decision was technically defensible, supporting counsel's legal arguments without determining contract liability.
AI system performance claims
A government agency alleges that a contractor's AI system failed to meet stated performance requirements. The expert analyzes system design, contractor testing methods, and whether performance matched technical contract specifications.
Criminal justice AI systems
An AI system used in criminal justice, such as risk assessment tools, algorithmic policing, or facial recognition, is challenged on constitutional, statutory, or technical grounds. The expert analyzes system design, accuracy, and impact evidence to inform the evidentiary record.
Benefits eligibility AI systems
An AI system used for benefit eligibility determinations is alleged to produce incorrect or discriminatory decisions. The expert analyzes system design, testing adequacy, and technical causes of contested decisions.
Law enforcement AI and digital forensics
AI tools used in law enforcement investigations, including digital forensics platforms, surveillance systems, and investigative analytics, are challenged on reliability or constitutional grounds. The expert evaluates technical capabilities and limitations.
Applicable regulatory framework
- Executive Order 14110 on safe, secure, and trustworthy AI (2023): federal AI governance requirements
- OMB Memorandum M-24-10: guidance on AI use in federal agencies
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework: technical standards for AI risk assessment
- FAR and DFARS: procurement regulations applicable to AI system acquisitions
- State AI governance laws: California AB 302 and related state-level AI requirements
- Constitutional constraints: due process and equal protection requirements for government AI decision systems
Current issue
Procurement and oversight records
A government AI dispute often starts with the procurement record: the intended use, system requirements, vendor representations, audit rights, testing history, and procedures for human review or correction.
These records can clarify whether a disputed outcome followed the deployed system, an implementation choice, a data condition, or a departure from the stated oversight process.
