Biden Urged to Champion AI to Improve Government Services
-
AI technology has the potential to greatly improve government services and rebuild public trust, if implemented properly. For example, it improved vaccine distribution in Operation Warp Speed.
-
However, the government bureaucracy currently makes adopting new software and AI systems extremely difficult. There is too much red tape and resistance to change.
-
Leaders like Eric Schmidt argue that software and AI adoption is crucial for government to function properly in the modern world. Without it, performance will continue to decline.
-
If done right, AI could revolutionize interactions between citizens and government agencies like the IRS, VA, and more. It can provide better, faster service at lower cost.
-
President Biden should champion AI technology in government. He can acknowledge the need to reduce bureaucracy and barriers to change so citizens get improved services worthy of the 21st century.
