Government AI
A few days ago, Azure announced that it had launched a government instance of its generative AI offering. One of the biggest benefits of generative AI is the review of millions of documents and the ability to generate answers against a body of knowledge.
Is there a regulation in place for a particular item? What are similar regulations and what obstacles did they encounter to make it into policy? What are some ways to increase efficiency in bringing certain policies into practice?
The ability to cut through the days or weeks of research by using a system trained on archive datasets could be an enormous win. Likewise, it might be able to transform government services towards companies and individuals.
Government correspondence is the type of messaging that we’d likely be OK with having been generated by AI. After all, we already perceive that they are being written by soulless bureaucrats.
While there are motivated individuals who make up the public service and want to bring good to the public, they might have been stymied by not having access to these generative technologies. Let’s hope that with that gate down, we’ll seen innovations within some government services that inspire other public organizations to modernize.
