Through DC Compass, residents can ask questions verbally or in writing, in the language with which they are most comfortable, and get faster and better cited answers than a whole team of data scientists could have provided in the past. DC Compass automatically creates maps and dashboards responsive to residents’ questions, and provides statistics and natural language summaries in the same language chosen by the resident. It can suggest related datasets the resident might be interested in, and can even identify specific DC government initiatives related to the resident’s query. When deploying such powerful AI tools, it is important that agencies carefully consider each of DC’s AI Values. This Report proceeds step-by-step through these AI Values, explaining the care with which OCTO reviewed each, the efforts that went into anticipating potential risks of unintended harms which might arise from deployment of the tool, and all of the work involved in structuring the planned deployment to mitigate those risks.Read the full report to learn how DC Compass aligns with DC government's AI values.
