Enhancing US Public Policy Formulation with AI: Innovations in Decision-Making and Governance

Аннотация

This study investigates the full transformative potential of AI to enhance public policymaking in the United States, focusing on innovations in policy decision-making and governance. It explores how AI-enabled technologies, such as predictive analytics and data-driven insights, can enhance the effective, efficient, and even transparent processes of policymaking. The paper presents an illustration of successful applications where AI has addressed complex societal issues in case studies within three policy areas: healthcare, transportation, and environmental policy. It also addresses some of the most pivotal challenges: data privacy, algorithmic bias, and resistance to change raise important ethical considerations for AI implementation. The study concludes by calling for collaboration in the integration of AI into public governance, which ensures a variety of stakeholder perspectives and that policies reflect the needs of all citizens.
