Strategic deployment of AI drives innovation
in public services and economic growth
PALO
ALTO, Calif., July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Today the Tony Blair Institute for Global
Change (TBI) and SandboxAQ are combining their expertise and
announcing the first part of a new guide designed to empower
government leaders worldwide to unlock the full potential of AI,
regardless of their current capabilities. Titled Governing in
the Age of AI: The Leader's Guide to Artificial-Intelligence
Technical Strategy, this guide provides a step-by-step approach
for governments to effectively leverage AI. The guide covers
everything from identifying opportunities and assessing risks to
making critical infrastructure decisions, ensuring that governments
can strategically deploy AI to transform public services and drive
economic growth.
The guide will support TBI's work with governments globally to
harness technology and develop their AI strategy. "AI provides the
opportunity to reimagine nearly every aspect of government. To
fully harness its potential, leaders must make deliberate and
well-informed technical decisions," said Tony Blair, Executive Chairman at TBI.
The Leader's Guide to Artificial-Intelligence Technical
Strategy combines TBI's deep policy expertise with
SandboxAQ's AI leadership to deliver what will become an essential
tool for decision-makers. Designed to help governments regardless
of their current technological capabilities, it enables leaders to
understand the technologies, prerequisites, and other supporting
factors needed to help them achieve their AI objectives.
"We have heard from many government leaders a request for a
clear playbook with specific decision trees on how to implement AI
across key public sector areas including education, healthcare and
defense," said Jack D. Hidary, CEO
of SandboxAQ. "The guide we co-authored with TBI provides a
framework to help leaders align their strategic AI vision with the
technical requirements needed to support their AI transformations.
The combination of SandboxAQ's technical depth with TBI's expertise
in public sector areas drives the practical value of this guide for
world leaders."
The playbook will enable leaders to:
- Identify and prioritize AI opportunities across a wide
range of government functions, including healthcare, education,
environmental management and defense
- Understand their current capabilities, including
technical (compute, networking and data) and human resources, and
calculate the amount of capital and time required to implement
various AI-based solutions
- Identify AI readiness gaps and address roadblocks and
bottlenecks that could delay their deployments
- Determine AI best practices to ensure optimal privacy,
security, effectiveness and cost savings
- Focus initial efforts on high-impact, manageable use
cases to rapidly demonstrate value and gain support among key
stakeholders
Today's release forms the basis of more thought leadership to
come later this year that will explore the ten critical
cross-cutting technical decisions that leaders must make – and an
evaluation of the options – on how to collect, store and utilize
data that AI systems require, and who should build, operate, and
maintain the data and infrastructure. It will also educate leaders
about the various layers within an AI technology stack, enabling
them to make informed decisions before deploying AI systems within
their government's IT architecture.
In a world of pressing challenges and tighter finances, figuring
out how to effectively harness the power of AI is the only way for
political leaders to get big things done. TBI brings together the
world's best and most future-thinking technology companies with
governments globally, enabling leaders to transform the way they
deliver. In this new partnership, SandboxAQ's technical expertise
in AI to solve complex problems and tackle societal challenges will
be combined with TBI's to create a comprehensive guide for
leaders.
The first part of Governing in the Age of AI: A Leader's
Guide to Artificial Intelligence Technical Strategy is
available on TBI's website.
