Considering AI as a Strategic Tool
When thinking about the use of artificial intelligence in government, it is important to consider its tactical and strategic impacts, together and separately. While much attention is being paid to ways to harness the power of AI, equally important are questions of safety and transparency, and the balance of collaboration between government and industry to advance strategic leadership in the global AI race.
For instance, AI-powered tools can improve operations by streamlining processes, a tactical benefit. To do so successfully, leaders in critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and federal government must develop ethical policies for using data securely in AI.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the range of policies needed to secure, transparent, and ethical use of data for AI applications, especially in critical industries
- Review the role of AI in critical infrastructure and the responsibility to safeguard against cyber threats – both how to use AI for cybersecurity and to protect against AI-based cyber attacks
- Delineate ways governments and industries can work together to advance national AI agendas
- Examine ways that governments can support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in adopting AI technologies
