Artificial intelligence or AI may no longer seem like the theme of a sci-fi movie where computers take over the world. Yet misconceptions linger about AI capabilities and uses, and governments are uncertain about what AI technology to implement and how. These factors slowed public sector adoption of AI until its potential value emerged more clearly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The demands of pandemic response accelerated state and local government interest in data-driven decision-making and implementation of early AI-related projects. For example, nearly all responding states in the Center for Digital Government’s most recent Digital States Survey will make some use of AI by 2022 and many counties and cities will do so as well, according to the latest Digital Cities and Counties surveys.
