Artificial Intelligence & Government Accountability - TheAiPost

Can artificial intelligence improve government accountability? Last year Bass provided an excellent overview of the role big data can play in increasing government accountability. His analysis covered the current state of affairs and the problems with achieving the goal of a transparent government (Bass, 2015). In an amazing and eye-opening manner, he showed that while data can increase government accountability, numerous unresolved issues remain that must be overcome before we can have higher transparency. One of the major issues identified by Bass is the fact that many stakeholder (including journalists, agencies, members of congress, and others) don't want greater transparency.
