AI is already transforming many areas within the private sector, but its enormous disruptive potential won't stop there. The societal and economic innovations created by these technologies will soon have a very real presence in every industry -- including the public sector. The potential for AI to double economic growth rates and increase labour productivity by up to 40% has convinced most citizens of the technology's value in the public sector. While 1 out of 3 individuals believe they don't understand the benefits of AI well enough to judge its use in government despite the majority opinion, these citizens overwhelmingly support government collaboration with AI once educated on how AI can deliver improved services. AI isn't a technology of the future -- it's here now and can't be put off until tomorrow.
