Data Science, AI, And the Third Wave of Governance in the Digital Age
Keywords:
Digital Age, AI, Governance, Data ScienceAbstract
This paper reviews the overlap between the domains of data science and artificial intelligence (AI) and third wave governance in the digital era. The results show that AI-enabled administration improves administration efficiency and predictive capability and brings new challenges to oversight, legitimacy, and equity. Quantitative data suggest an efficiency improvement of 35 percent or greater and the inadequacies of human monitoring. This paper highlights the role of frameworks and ethical responsibility as an institution in developing democratic digital governance.
