AI is revealing government’s biggest problem: being able to access and learn from work that already exists.
40% of public servants in policy and service design spend more than a week pulling together the research and evidence underpinning policy and service design before they can start a new piece of work. Meanwhile, governments everywhere are running AI pilots, but most have no idea what the city next door has already figured out.
Apolitical has developed a new tool, Government AI Navigator, to solve this problem by helping public servants discover AI use cases and learn from what their peers have already tested.
Launching in July 2026, Government AI Navigator is an interactive and dynamic global database of government AI case studies which allows public servants to connect directly with those people behind the case studies.
This Government AI Navigator Insights report looks at what we learned while building the tool with valuable input from public sector AI users and leaders.
Find out what simple behavioural change could help governments save up to $5 trillion. Plus, hear direct from senior public servants on steps that could revolutionise policy research.
