The rapid rise of Generative AI (GAI) across government ecosystems calls
for deeper examination by the global digital government research community.
It is our pleasure to chair (Fadi Salem, Theresa Pardo and Gianluca
Misuraca) a research track focusing on the Generative Artificial
Intelligence for Government (Track 11), in the 26th Annual International
Conference on Digital Government Research (DG.o 2025).

We invite you to submit pioneering research papers, specifically focused on
GAI. The DG.o 2025 will take place on 9 – 12 June 2025 in Porto Alegre,
Brazil.

More info on the conference website: https://dgsociety.org/dgo-2025/

We are looking for papers that critically examine the adoption and impact
of Generative AI in government functions, policies, and public engagement
in three pillars:

1) Generative AI’s Potential Beneficial Use Cases for Government
2) Generative AI's Risks and Threats for Public Governance
3) Global Governance of Generative AI

Suggested paper themes sought for this track include (among others):

1. Demystifying GAI in Public Governance: Map and conceptualize the
operational mechanics of GAI in public governance, its applications, and
its impact on government operations, policy, and service delivery.
2. Generative AI in Public Services: Explore the implications of utilizing
GAI in public service delivery and citizen-centric interactions through
autonomous agents.
3. Policy and Regulation: Examine the emerging policy ecosystem for GAI and
assess the robustness of standards and regulations to ensure the
responsible use of GAI in governmental settings.
4. Data Governance and GAI Ecosystems: Explore questions related to data
governance within GAI ecosystems across government contexts.
5. Practical Applications of GAI in Government: Present case studies of GAI
implementation in government settings including analysis of the successes
and failures of those implementations and lessons learned.
6. GAI and Citizen-Government Interaction: Assess the role of GAI in
facilitating electronic participation, citizen engagement, transparency,
and participation in governance.
7. Ethical and Regulatory Considerations: Evaluate the potential risks,
ethical concerns, and regulatory implications of using GAI in government.
8. Readiness and Capacity Building in Government: Examine the need for and
challenges to building new understanding about the use, development,
deployment and management of GAI.
9. Public Trust and Security: Explore GAI’s emerging implications for data
privacy, cybersecurity, and public trust.
