Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a key enabler in the Fourth Industrial Revolution regime to expedite government capacities in identifying and managing rapidly changing social problems and issues. The use of AI technologies has been morphed to facilitate government prediction to mitigate problems and effectively simulate solutions. With the increasing progress of various AI applications and algorithms, grasping AI’s potential in terms of government is critical to transforming its rigid legacy systems into agile platforms. The AI-augmented government can enhance its capacities to become more proactive in shaping the necessary developments and mobilize society to become more sustainable in response to rapid social changes and emerging challenges. Sustainable governance to drive society forward needs practical strategies and implementations to generate competitive advantages by using AI technologies.

This Special Issue explores the landscape of AI technologies and AI-augmented practices in government and identifies the contemporary issues and challenges for the phased adaptions toward sustainable development. This Special Issue will contribute to search for ways to make changes and prevent future substantial failures for government and society. This issue welcomes analytical, descriptive, and explanatory approaches focused on policy initiatives, case studies, empirical evidence, and novel insights to promote AI-augmented sustainable governance in the local, national and international context.
