AI Roundtable: Unlocking Efficiency & Integrity in Government Operations
From intelligent automation to advanced data analytics, real-world artificial intelligence (AI) applications are driving measurable improvements in efficiency, transparency, and service delivery.
For example, AI-powered chatbots are handling routine questions from citizens about such topics as how to apply for benefits, freeing up government employees to work on more complex issues. And AI is useful in optimizing resource allocation, such as in disaster recovery and relief, to maximize the number of people receiving assistance. It is being used in cybersecurity to detect and respond to emerging cyber threats. In most cases AI also represents cost savings, as tasks are executed faster, more efficiently, and with fewer errors.
Learning Objectives:
- Review your agency’s workflow to identify where bottlenecks cause delay and using AI can streamline actions
- Outline steps to incorporate AI into cybersecurity, where it can improve response times and mitigate risk
- Delineate the role of AI in proactively detecting and preventing fraud and waste
