Artificial Intelligence in Government

Agencies are turning to responsible and ethical AI to leverage their huge data stores for more informed and more timely decision making. The inspector general review concluded that the IRS “needs to take further steps to improve its security program and fully implement all security program components in compliance with federal requirements; otherwise, taxpayer data could be vulnerable to inappropriate and undetected use, modification, or disclosure”. The review highlighted problems in the IRS’s handling of private taxpayer data, access controls, system security and configuration management, and response to insider threats. There were also issues around the IRS’s security policies, procedures, and documentation. As adoption of AI has grown, so have worries around the ethics and functionality of the technology.

• By analyzing vast amounts of data, AI algorithms can identify patterns, trends, and potential outcomes, assisting policymakers in making informed decisions.
• For example, autocorrect not working properly carries low stakes, while getting charged for a crime because of an AI error, has a massive impact and must be avoided.
• If you’ve ever used a Hallmark greeting card or signed a petition, you’ve already demonstrated that you’re OK with accepting help to articulate your personal sentiments or political beliefs.
• New tools such as ChatGPT are categorized as generative AI because the technology generates a unique answer based on a user prompt.
• State Department, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Pew Research Center.
• AI lacks consciousness and emotions, limiting its ability to understand complex human experiences and produce truly creative works.

Is the use of AI in the processes of governance changing the way power is exercised? One advantage of AI in transportation is the potential to enhance safety and efficiency on roads and in various modes of transportation. AI-powered systems can analyze real-time data from sensors, cameras, and other sources to make quick and informed decisions. This can enable features such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles, which can help reduce human error and accidents.

Homeland Security employees expressing ‘good interest’ in using public generative AI tools, agency official says

AI adoption in government sectors is gaining momentum, with various initiatives already underway. That effort appears to have accelerated in recent years, Sanders said, with Biden’s 2021 executive order on transforming customer experience and service delivery, in a bid to restore trust in government. That combined with the recent AI executive action could be seen as a “wave cresting” as governments assess how to make programs work, treat people with more dignity, and reduce the administrative burden. The 34-page report, ordered by Gov. Gavin Newsom, provides a glimpse into how California could apply the technology to state programs even as lawmakers grapple with how to protect people without hindering innovation. Generative AI could help quickly translate government materials into multiple languages, analyze tax claims to detect fraud, summarize public comments and answer questions about state services. Still, deploying the technology, the analysis warned, also comes with concerns around data privacy, misinformation, equity and bias.

(c)  The term “AI model” means a component of an information system that implements AI technology and uses computational, statistical, or machine-learning techniques to produce outputs from a given set of inputs. In the end, AI reflects the principles of the people who build it, the people who use it, and the data upon which it is built. I firmly believe that the power of our ideals; the foundations of our society; and the creativity, diversity, and decency of our people are the reasons that America thrived in past eras of rapid change.

How governments and decision makers can capitalise on the health benefits of climate action

He has taught graduate courses in International Cyber Law and International Relations at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB, Belgium), Korea University (South Korea), and the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (South Korea). At the European External Action Service, he integrated expertise into policymaking on EU-Asia security cooperation and EU strategic autonomy. He also served as an advisor at the Belgian Data Protection Authority, which he co-represented at the EU in the field of AI and security. If human-centred AI becomes a reality, then we could even imagine a world where AI helps humans to strengthen (instead of eroding) democracy and fundamental rights.

The Procurement in a Box aims to empower government officials to more confidently make responsible AI purchasing decisions. The tools included improve the experience for AI solution providers by supporting the creation of transparent and innovative public procurement processes that meet their needs. Embedding the principles advocated for in the guidelines into administrative processes will also expand opportunities for new entrants and create a more competitive environment for the ethical development of AI. AI holds great promise for the public sector, and governments are in a unique position in relation to AI.

The United States supports the progress in this area made by the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, Group of Governmental Experts on Emerging Technologies in the Area of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (GGE on LAWS), which adopted by consensus 11 Guiding Principles on responsible development and use of LAWS in 2019. The State Department will continue to work with our colleagues at the Department of Defense to engage the international community within the LAWS GGE. At all levels of governments, from national entities to local governments, public employees must be ready for this new AI era.

By utilizing NLP algorithms, government agencies can efficiently analyze vast amounts of text-based data, such as legislation, regulations, and public opinion. IBM is committed to unleashing the transformative potential of foundation models and generative AI to help address high-stakes challenges. We provide open and targeted value creating AI solutions for businesses and public sector institutions. IBM watsonx, our integrated AI and data platform, embodies these principles, offering a seamless, efficient, and responsible approach to AI deployment across a variety of environments. Third, AI is also becoming a crucial component of the public sector’s digital transformation efforts. Governments are regularly held back from true transformation by legacy systems with tightly coupled workflow rules that require substantial effort and significant cost to modernize.

V7’s image annotation and video annotaion tools help government organizations manage high-quality transportation datasets. As a result, agencies can train robust traffic models with advanced monitoring capabilities. Let’s discuss some major AI applications that governments can leverage to improve public sector services. Acemoglu also suggested that countries in the global South were also vulnerable to the potential effects of AI, in a few ways.

Existing arrangements known from the MyData environment have been referenced as a best practice of purpose-limited personal data collection by the public administration. The reform has been prompted by the global financial crisis and the subsequent domestic economic slowdown. Nikita Duggal is a passionate digital marketer with a major in English language and literature, a word connoisseur who loves writing about raging technologies, digital marketing, and career conundrums. While AI can perform specific tasks with remarkable precision, it cannot fully replicate human intelligence and creativity. AI lacks consciousness and emotions, limiting its ability to understand complex human experiences and produce truly creative works. As any person who came close to the core would have perished in a matter of minutes, at the time, there were no AI-powered robots that could assist us in reducing the effects of radiation by controlling the fire in its early phases.

AI, climate-change tech top Mass. governor’s draft economic plan

Modern Machine Learning learns from historical data without context or common sense. As a result, many AI products in the market cannot adapt to context or changing environments. Practitioners need to incorporate rigorous data provenance checks at design and development time to ensure contextually sensitive information is considered when training ML models.

HB 2060 will require each agency to provide that information to the AI advisory council by July 2024. Another dimension of Responsible AI is how much it is trusted by the stakeholders. Deep learning AI systems are not intuitive and there is a “because AI said so” angle to their automated decisions.

Taken together, we see a highly-fragmented market which is dominated by smaller vendors who generally have a single contract for AI-related services. Many of these vendors are small vendors and, for these vendors, the AI-related work represents a substantial percentage of their annual revenue. That is, many of these vendors are located in close proximity to their federal client and we suspect that prior relationships – personal or professional – may exist. We see these relationships as healthy since it reflects an ecosystem of vendors that are growing in response to specific needs. No vendor deals with more than three funding agencies, which reflects a very niche approach for the vendor community. Three vendors (AI Solutions, AI Signal Research and United Solutions) deal with three agencies while fourteen different vendors deal with two agencies and the remaining 290 vendors deal with a single funding agency.
