In the technology-intensive world, almost every sector uses Artificial Intelligence to automate their workflows which is not different in the case of governments. As the public sector deals with humungous amount of data, increasing efficiency is the vital part. AI and automation will help boost the processing speed, minimise costs and process services to the public faster.

To sync along with the rapid digital technological change, it is inevitable for the government to innovate the traditional methods to attain better citizen engagement, accountability and interoperability which can be done by coping with complex transforming environment and becoming robust with the use of advanced intelligent technologies that can act as the facilitators of sustainability, competitiveness, innovation and liveability.

Artificial Intelligence can predominantly ease the government labour by implementing automation for repetitive tasks resulting in the increased transactions, fastening the provision of government services and accurately assessing the outcomes of the policy options as well. Many instances have already proven AI’s potential in various government sectors such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, finance, policymaking, legal and justice, telecommunication, transport, data security and management and so on.
