Data is increasingly becoming critical for the public sector — from guiding decisions in higher education to enhancing citizen services and streamlining government operations. Government agencies are overwhelmed with data, whether it be structured, like incident logs, or unstructured, like satellite images. Harnessing the vast amount of data can become a burden for any organization, yet the insights have the potential to significantly improve quality of life and strengthen national security.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, enhancing decision-making processes, and creating new opportunities across various domains. However, selecting the right type of AI for your specific needs can be challenging. Broadly, AI can be categorized into predictive (sometimes known as discriminative or traditional) AI and generative AI, each serving different purposes.

As the frenzied hype around generative AI cools off and as we get into the year of ideation, earlier adopters of AI are starting to see the results of initial experimentation. And these conversations are increasingly shifting to a more problem-oriented mentality. A lot of people were understandably swept up in the excitement of all that AI can do, only to find that some use cases were too risky or that those problems could be solved with traditional methods that were less costly.
