Can the public sector and startups work together to build an AI-enabled government? (Sponsored)
Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) startups are transforming businesses’ operations, and are changing people’s shopping or banking habits. It can help answer questions such as if we should build a roundabout or put a traffic light in the specific intersection, or what kind of employment or economic policy we should implement. Finally, similar to traditional business, AI-enabled government means intelligent automation of public sector processes, especially back-office functions. Through building AI solutions and businesses, startup founders and employees become well acquainted with what technology is capable of now, what is being developed and will be available in the future. Usual public sector processes do not necessarily reflect how startups work – their procurement was built for big corporations and companies that are more focused on just delivering technical specifications, but not coming up with out-of-the-box solutions.
