In theory, an official with skin in the game can use a consultant to learn how to avoid mistakes. We don’t have AI smart-enough to speak about new kinds of mistakes (yet). So it seems to me that the public official should be using AI more than the consultant, for now:
- Find prior consulting products (reports) relevant to my situation. Maybe Deloitte produced a great piece of public advice back in 2007 and AI can style-transfer it to my set of 2025 vocabulary and assumptions.
- What would an average citizen, with access to AI, expect me to do on their behalf and communicate back?
- I meet with a consultant and provide AI with a transcript. It should research a reading list for us.
