Leading-edge technologies like AI, ML, and IoT can bring new advancements to the governance and administration sector. Suggested applications could include AI-enabled dashboards to monitor all government schemes, intelligent automation in the management and delivery of administrative services, and more. Not surprisingly, much of the public sector has already begun experimenting with advanced technologies. At the national and regional levels, many agencies are deploying AI-powered interfaces for customer service, alongside an expanding use of software to update legacy systems and automate simple tasks. Growing investments in infrastructure planning, legal adjudication, fraud detection, and citizen response systems represent the first phase in the ongoing digitization of government. AI-based applications could potentially reduce backlogs and free workers from mundane tasks while cutting costs. Advancing democracies into the era of Big Data could go a long way towards reducing systemic dysfunction within the public sector. Using sensor technologies and machine learning systems to reinforce government oversight could begin to reduce regulation while actually increasing the amount of oversight. Rapid urbanization, an aging population, and complex socio-economic problems are putting public services under strain. And with low economic growth keeping budgets down, governments need to find solutions that are both efficient and sustainable. Advanced technologies can help governments solve these challenges by supplementing certain human competencies or, in some cases, replacing them.
Predictive Maintenance of Public Infrastructure
Proactively monitor health of physical equipment, machinery and infrastructure, combine it with additional data points like usage metrics, images etc., to predict when and what kind of maintenance is required.
Disaster Response
Advanced Technology, especially when coupled with AI, can make a significant contribution to disaster management. Aided further with technologies like drones, sensors and geospatial mapping, that can collect valuable real time data, machine learning algorithms can help with optimal deployment of limited rescue resources. Post disaster reconnaissance, identification and prioritization of affected areas, real time tracking of individuals, etc. can all be possible.
Traffic Control & Management
There are massive amounts of data available on traffic flows and the same can be utilized for more efficient traffic management systems and creating infrastructure that is future-ready. By installing smart signals that are not rule based but dynamically adjust based on actual traffic going through them, monitored through sensors and cameras.
Smart & Efficient Governance
There are numerous examples where technology is already making an impact on the world, augmenting government capabilities in significant ways. Technology plays a substantial role in National Defense. The military is deploying AI to sift through massive troves of data and video captured by surveillance and alert human analysts of patterns or abnormal/suspicious activity. The goal of emerging technologies in the defense sector is to meet the needs of warfighters and enhance the speed and agility of technology development and procurement. AI consists of three main areas: Sensing, Thinking, and Acting. In the sensing domain, AI augments or replaces human sensory capabilities, allowing for tasks such as real-time analysis of street and traffic cameras. Thinking involves technologies like machine learning and natural language processing, enabling governments to analyze and process large volumes of data efficiently. Acting, facilitated by AI and intelligent automation, allows for the delegation of simple decision-making tasks, freeing up time for front-line workers. For instance, during the Winter Olympics in South Korea, humanoid robots equipped with AI-powered translation software were employed to provide information to visitors and athletes, showcasing the practical application of AI in enhancing citizen experiences.
