 Introduction

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have been ruling the

roost in technology for the past five years. Whether it’s
manufacturing, IT, or any other industry, AI and ML are being used in
some form or the other. The reason that companies are increasingly
relying on AI and ML is because of their potential to do things that
humans will never be able to do themselves. AI and ML together can
bring a positive impact on business, society, and culture.
If governments across the world start adopting AI-based technologies,
it will be highly beneficial for the social and economic progress of
their respective countries. Keeping this in mind, here are ten ways by
which Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning can transform
governance

 Medicine and Healthcare

AI has countless applications in the healthcare industry. However, one area

where it has true potential is precision medicine. AI can help in the analysis of
millions of patient data at scale. The data includes details such as the patient’s
past medical history, variability in genes, lifestyle, etc. Using these details, it
can accurately assist doctors and medical practitioners to predict the best
treatment for a particular disease for each patient. Companies like IBM are
already using AI-based algorithms to precisely detect tumours from radiology
scans. It’s time that governments use AI to drive the adoption and
implementation of precision medicine.

 Education

By analysing a student’s past data, AI and ML can help the student in making
decisions when choosing courses and electives at universities. AI chatbots can
be used to interact with students for admission queries. AI-based learning
platforms can enable personalized monitoring of students and devote
individualized attention to their progress. AI can also be used to facilitate
personalized learning. Using AI, teachers can offer personalized
recommendations to each student. AI can ensure that the students get the best
possible assistance by customizing class assignments and exams.

 Agriculture

As the world’s population is ever-increasing, it becomes necessary to keep

the food production capacity at a high level. AI can play an important role in
driving efficiency in farming. It can collect and analyse data about various
farming parameters such as soil conditions, groundwater levels, weather
conditions, crop condition, etc. Based on the data, AI can provide
recommendations as to what crops need to be grown, when to fertilize and
irrigate them, etc. This type of AI-assisted farming is called precision
farming. Precision farming can help in increasing the food production level
and reducing wastage without affecting the environment.

 Crime Prevention

This is another sector that will be hugely benefited by AI and machine

learning. An AI-based platform can be used to assimilate all data concerning
crimes and criminals. This can include data such as the type and number of
crimes committed, a criminal’s behaviour patterns, modus operandi,
punishment status, parole status, etc. Through proper analysis, AI can
effectively detect crime patterns and help identify vulnerable areas. It can help
in tracking criminals and their likelihood of committing crimes. In 2017, the
Indian government commissioned a project towards predictive policing. The
project used AI and machine learning for facilitating criminal identity
registration, missing person search, and tracking.

 Intelligence, Surveillance, and Advanced Robotics

AI can be used to monitor and control unmanned autonomous vehicles for

gathering intelligence and advanced surveillance purposes. Machine learning
algorithms can help in evaluating border infiltration patterns and predict the
possibility of infiltrations happening at certain times.
Advanced robotics has made its way into the armed forces through humanoid
robot soldiers. Robot soldiers are futuristic weapons where an array of robots
can collaborate and function as a team, like human soldiers. By 2025, the US
government has planned to deploy robot soldiers in combat roles.

 Cybersecurity, Traffic Control

In January 2018, it was revealed that the Indian government suffered a massive
breach in its Aadhaar data. Over 1.1 billion Aadhaar numbers along with each
user’s details were exposed. If governments could couple AI and machine
learning with their existing systems, such massive breaches could be avoided.
Nowadays, due to the increasing amount of vehicles plying
on the road, traffic is becoming a major hassle for commuters. Getting stuck in
a traffic jam is the worst nightmare for anyone who resides in a metropolitan
city. Traffic lights in most countries are set to a pre-set value to control the
traffic.

 Disaster Response Public Infrastructure

Disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis cause massive destruction and

can render countries helpless in their wake. AI and machine learning can
immensely help in managing disasters. Machine learning algorithms can be
used for optimal deployment of limited rescue resources.
Routine maintenance of public infrastructure is an absolute
must to avoid any untoward incidents. Most of the infrastructure such as
roads, sewers, water systems, government-run schools, colleges, and
hospitals, etc. need to undergo regular checks. AI can be used to monitor the
health of machinery, infrastructure, physical equipment, etc. on a proactive
basis. This helps in the accurate prediction of maintenance for these
infrastructures. The usage of metrics and analytics helps to ascertain when
and where maintenance is required.

 Citizen-Government Interfaces

AI can be used to enhance e-governance services through citizen-

government interfaces. For example, the Andhra Pradesh government in India
partnered with Microsoft to create an AI-assisted app called Kaizala. Kaizala
acted as a citizen-government interface where citizen requests could be routed
to the appropriate government department. The government could also use the
app to send automated notices to its citizens. Thus, through these AI-assisted
interfaces, governments can exert better governance of their citizens.

 CONCLUSION

The use of AI in government is an exciting development, and with the right

investments and policies, it has the potential to revolutionise the way
governments work. Critics would sarcastically comment that a bit of
intelligence in governance is always...
