📑 New Paper: The Algorithmic State Architecture (ASA) – An integrated framework for AI-driven government transformation. This preprint introduces a 4-layer model for AI in the public sector, authored by Dr @ZeynepEngin (@ucl ), Prof Jon Crowcroft @CrowcroftJ87430 (@Cambridge_Uni, @turinginst ), Prof David Hand (@imperialcollege) and Prof Philip Treleaven (@ucl ). Read the full paper: bit.ly/4kEsc9l As governments worldwide struggle to integrate AI technologies, the ASA framework provides a structured approach through four interconnected layers: 1️⃣ Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI): The foundational layer- data exchange systems, cloud infrastructure, secure platforms. 2️⃣ Data-for-Policy (DfP): The intelligence layer - data analytics informing policy decisions and service delivery. 3️⃣ Algorithmic Government/Governance (AG): The process layer- AI-enabled decision-making with human oversight. 4️⃣ GovTech: The service layer - AI-powered public services directly accessible to citizens. Real-world case studies from 🇪🇪Estonia, 🇸🇬Singapore, 🇮🇳India, and 🇬🇧UK illustrate how these layers integrate in practice. #AIGovernance #GovTech #DigitalTransformation #PublicSector #DataforPolicy #PolicyInnovation
