Artificial intelligence (AI) has benefited from a number of recent technological advances, from increases in processing power to decreases in battery costs, and the explosion of available data. Beyond technical research and commercial opportunities, this transformative technology has the potential to fundamentally alter our society and how our public institutions operate.
Despite the scale and magnitude of the impact, conversations about AI remain fragmented, and governments face challenges connecting with industry and academia on the edge of technological advances, in recruiting expertise, and in identifying and procuring solutions that could significantly improve government decision-making, operations, and service delivery.
