🚨 BREAKING: @OECD publishes the report "Governing with Artificial Intelligence - Are governments ready?" Important information: ➡️ According to the official release: "(...) This policy paper outlines the key trends and policy challenges in the development, use, and deployment of AI in and by the public sector. First, it discusses the potential benefits and specific risks associated with AI use in the public sector. Second, it looks at how AI in the public sector can be used to improve productivity, responsiveness, and accountability. Third, it provides an overview of the key policy issues and presents examples of how countries are addressing them across the OECD." ➡️ Quotes: "(...) The responsible use of AI can improve the functioning of government administrations in several ways. ➵ First, the use of AI in the public sector can help governments increase productivity with more efficient internal operations and more effective public policies. ➵ Second, AI can help make the design and delivery of public policies and services more inclusive and responsive to the evolving needs of citizens and specific communities. ➵ Third, AI can strengthen the accountability of governments by enhancing their capacity for oversight and supporting independent oversight institutions." - "This potential has by no means been fully explored and exploited. More evidence is needed on use cases to better understand how to successfully develop and deploy AI initiatives, learning from successes and failures. Despite the potential benefits of AI, there are also growing concerns about the risks of a fragmented and ungoverned deployment of AI in the public sector. Such risks include the amplification of bias, the lack of transparency in system design, and breaches in data privacy and security – all of which could lead to unfair and discriminatory outcomes with profound societal implications. The public sector has a special responsibility to deploy AI in a way that minimises harm and prioritises the well-being of individuals and communities, especially when deploying AI in sensitive policy domains such as law enforcement, immigration control, welfare benefits, and fraud prevention." ➡️ Read the full report in the link below. ➡️ Stay up to date with the latest developments in AI policy & regulation: subscribe to my newsletter (link below).
