Impact of AI on the Government and Defense Sector
The governments worldwide confronting the health and economic challenges arising due to COVID-19, its impact on government's fiscal stress, and mobility limitations of civil servants & citizens are the driving factors for governments to look for more technologically enabled solutions to continue or improve services. Whereas, several governments have started incentivizing private firms to make private firms to invest in AI. In addition, governments have already started moving towards effective regulation of the impact of AI. For instance, according to the US-EU Trade and Technology Council, in 2022, Spain developed and launched a pilot regulatory sandbox on AI.
AI can examine vast volumes of data in the government sector and spot patterns and trends that people might overlook. Better decisions regarding everything from the distribution of resources to the creation of policies may be made with this information. AI-driven chatbots may also handle problems, respond to inquiries, and offer round-the-clock customer care. AI can also be used to automate repetitive processes, such as filing taxes and obtaining permits. Artificial intelligence is capable of identifying irregularities in data that can point to waste or fraud. This can shield taxpayers and help governments save money. For instance, the US Federal Government has begun to implement AI in a range of settings, which include improving taxpayer waiting times whenever contacting the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and simultaneously creating AI competitions to predict patient health outcomes by using Medicare data.
AI is being used in defense to:
- Increase situational awareness: AI-powered sensors can detect enemy movements, recognize threats, and give troops real-time intelligence.
- Create autonomous weapons: AI-driven robots and drones can be employed to execute risky tasks without endangering human soldiers.
- Cybersecurity: AI can recognize and stop cyberattacks.
Conclusion
The governments worldwide confronting the health and economic challenges arising due to COVID-19, its impact on government's fiscal stress, and mobility limitations of civil servants & citizens are the driving factors for governments to look for more technologically enabled solutions to continue or improve services. Contacting the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and simultaneously creating AI competitions to predict patient health outcomes by using Medicare data.
