How Data Management Drives AI

Technology helps agencies work more efficiently and effectively, and AI tools, in particular, are uniquely powerful. Whether generative AI (GenAI), natural language processing, machine learning (ML) or another AI option, these tools can transform how organizations engage with the public. the foundation of AI is data — high-quality, accessible and secure. Think of a pyramid, Steel said. The top 10% or 20% is AI. Everything below is data and data management.


Welcome to the Real World of AI

What a difference a few months make! While there’s still plenty of enthusiasm about the potential of generative AI (GenAI), investors and the tech press have grown increasingly skeptical of some of the most exorbitant claims. At the same time, down-to-earth, practical applications are proving their value. So, what does that mean for government users? Maybe that agencies have been doing it right all along. In this guide, we’ll share some of the latest thinking about AI, along with a half-dozen examples of how government — from cities and states to federal agencies — are taking advantage of the power of this new technology.

 

A Fresh Look at Data

Data is now vital to how government serves the public and fulfills its mission. This guide is the first of three in 2024 that will explore ways agencies can use data now and, in the future.

A Fresh Look at Data

Data has become an essential tool of government, driving how agencies serve customers, manage employees and track the programs' success. Increasingly, it serves as the basis for automating processes, using artificial intelligence (AI) and setting policy. To take advantage of all that data can do, agencies must refresh their data strategies. They need to address governance in more systematic ways, investigate new use cases, and make the connection between policy and data analysis.

In this guide, we share some ways governments are updating their data approaches, and we hear from experts in the field. We hope you’ll find incentives to revitalize data’s role in your agency.
