Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can deliver valuable insights for government, but only if it has access to the right data -- and the right tools for using that data appropriately. Data is central to the framework model for AI identified by SAP research. This framework helps a government organization improve data quality, implement a technology platform and gain staff expertise for an internal AI capability, and maintain ongoing AI oversight and assurance. A government can use AI to become more data-driven in multiple ways. AI algorithms perform in-depth data analysis far more quickly than a person, producing faster insights into causes and solutions.
