If AI is threatening the jobs in the private sector, why shouldn’t it also be true in the public sector?
There must be millions of menial government jobs that should be ripe for AI to replace. Save us some money, while at the same time eliminate the fraud, abuse, and laziness that is rife in government jobs.
AI would be excellent at Fraud….
,,, on the payroll side, yeah. On the capex and ongoing licensing costs, nah.
“If AI is threatening the jobs in the private sector, why shouldn’t it also be true in the public sector?”
This is the question almost no one is asking. Despite key differences in purpose (where a public sector ostensibly exists to protect the citizenry and secure our rights), the mechanics of government are absolutely ripe for AI and Continuous Improvement methodologies.
Imagine if renewing a driver’s license or vehicle plate were as easy as an Amazon.com order, or governments could analyze real-time data trends to reduce spend!
