What is Darwin AI?

Darwin AI is a platform that helps state and local governments adopt AI responsibly. It provides visibility into AI usage, enforces policy in real time, and enables agencies to deploy AI workflows safely across their organization.

What is AI governance, and why does it matter for government?

AI governance is the ability to oversee how AI is used across an organization, ensuring it aligns with policies, protects sensitive data, and meets compliance requirements. For government agencies, it is critical to maintaining transparency, accountability, and public trust.

How does Darwin AI provide visibility into AI usage?

Darwin automatically discovers and classifies every AI tool in use across your organization, including unauthorized or "shadow AI." It provides detailed insights into usage, users, and risk exposure across departments.

How does Darwin enforce AI policies?

Darwin transforms written AI policies into operational rules that are applied in real time. This allows agencies to block, alert, or guide AI usage based on their specific policies, without relying on manual enforcement.

What is Darwin LaunchPad?

Darwin LaunchPad is the execution layer of the platform. It enables agencies to design and deploy AI workflows for real government use cases, such as procurement review or document processing inside a governed environment.

Does Darwin AI replace existing IT or security tools?

No. Darwin integrates with your existing IT and security stack. It adds a new layer specifically designed to manage AI usage, which traditional tools were not built to handle.

How can government agencies purchase Darwin AI?

Darwin AI is available through established government contract vehicles and procurement pathways, making it easier for agencies to adopt the platform quickly and compliantly.

What is shadow AI in government?

Shadow AI refers to AI tools that employees use without formal approval or oversight. These tools can introduce risk if they handle sensitive data or operate outside agency policies.

What makes Darwin AI different for state and local government?

Darwin AI is built specifically for state and local government, where AI adoption must meet strict requirements for security, compliance, and transparency. It provides full visibility into AI usage, turns policies into enforceable safeguards, and enables agencies to deploy AI responsibly across departments.

How is Darwin's DLP different from traditional data loss prevention tools?

Traditional DLP tools were not designed for AI usage. Darwin applies DLP directly to AI interactions, detecting sensitive data in prompts and responses, and enforcing policies in real time across both approved and shadow AI tools.
