Budgeting for Inference Sprawl: FinOps + GreenOps for AI
AI pilots may seem affordable, but production-scale inference brings spiraling costs and energy demands. Make AI both scalable and responsible.

AI is increasingly embedded in decisions that affect citizens’ benefits, permits, and rights, but few agencies have credible systems for appeal or correction. Building algorithmic redress mechanisms isn’t optional; it’s the backbone of public trust and due process in the AI era.
Agencies are rushing to adopt AI, but few prepare for what happens when contracts end. Building in continuity is not optional, it’s a resilience imperative.
AI services can silently exclude people with disabilities, language needs, or low-bandwidth access, creating an “equity debt” that compounds over time.
Governments are racing to adopt AI, but almost no one is planning for how to retire it. This article explores why AI decommissioning and succession planning are the blind spots executives and consulting partners must confront now to protect compliance, continuity, and trust.
Agencies worry about shadow IT, but the quiet risk today is shadow procurement, micro-purchases that bypass governance and bring in unvetted AI.
Cascading risks are reshaping the way governments must think about resilience. Agencies can no longer rely on single-event continuity planning.
Emerging technologies are advancing faster than government policy. Anticipatory governance can help close the gap.
Resilience has been the government standard for decades, but bouncing back is no longer enough. Regeneration offers a new path forward.
Shadow AI is already at work. But leaders can turn hidden risk into innovation by launching AI amnesty programs andcentral model registries.
