AI Is Now Essential National Infrastructure

Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly, with projects like OpenAI's DALL-E 2, Google's MINERVA, and DeepMind's Gato all pushing new technological boundaries. Until now, national governments have been slow to adopt this cutting-edge technology. In 2023, however, the opportunities to provide effective, targeted, and affordable services to citizens will prompt them to finally embrace AI, making government more transparent, accessible and effective. In some countries, AI is already being used to improve people's interaction with the state. This year, the Estonian government launched a new AI-based virtual assistant called Bürokratt.
