Infosys Public Services is a Platinum sponsor and Speaker at the 2025 CPPC Annual Forum. Join our keynote session on Ethical Considerations in AI Procurement, Tuesday, May 6, from 1:15 pm EST to 2:15pm EST. We bring insights on how public sector organizations must ensure that data used in AI systems is collected and managed responsibly to protect sensitive information. Bias in algorithms can lead to unfair treatment of suppliers, potentially disadvantaged to certain groups based on race, gender, or socio-economic status. This necessitates rigorous testing and auditing to identify and mitigate biases. Organizations must carefully consider these ethical factors. Moreover, the impact on supplier relationships is profound; AI can enhance efficiency but may also create a power imbalance, where smaller suppliers feel marginalized.

Session Description
The integration of AI in procurement raises significant ethical concerns, particularly regarding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and supplier relationships. Organizations must ensure that data used in AI systems is collected and managed responsibly to protect sensitive information. Bias in algorithms can lead to unfair treatment of suppliers, potentially disadvantaging certain groups based on race, gender, or socio-economic status. This necessitates rigorous testing and auditing to identify and mitigate biases. Organizations must carefully consider these ethical factors. Moreover, the impact on supplier relationships is profound; AI can enhance efficiency but may also create a power imbalance, where smaller suppliers feel marginalized.
