AI in Governance
How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Government, Regulation, and Public Decision-Making
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the institutions that govern modern society. Governments around the world are using AI to improve public services, strengthen policy analysis, enhance administrative efficiency, and address complex challenges ranging from healthcare and education to national security and climate change.
Yet the rise of AI also raises some of the most important questions of our time. How can governments harness the benefits of AI while protecting privacy, accountability, and democratic values? What legal and ethical frameworks are needed to govern intelligent systems? How can policymakers ensure that AI serves the public interest rather than undermining it?
