Ireland Guidelines for the Responsible Use of AI in the Public Service (2025) 5.3: Evaluate build, buy or free-of-charge options and review benefits after the project

What does 5.3 require?

The body evaluates whether to build, buy or use free-of-charge solutions, weighing implementation, speed and compatibility, and for build versus buy compares performance for the end-user, lifecycle costs and return including licence fees, time to implement, re-use for other public service cases, the skills needed to build or run the solution, data security, compatibility with existing systems, and the training and support each option needs. Post-project reviews check whether intended benefits were achieved, their impact and the lessons learned.
