Emerging Technologies for Government

By Matthew N O Sadiku

It is difficult to overstate the role technology plays in the way governments operate. Technology can enhance the quality of governance in public institutions in terms of responsiveness, inclusiveness, trustworthiness, and effectiveness, and can encourage citizens' participation in development processes. The efficiency and effectiveness of any government agency is dependent on the technologies it uses to provide services and protect the health and welfare of its citizens. Emerging technologies matter significantly in public administration. These technologies are transforming how public services are delivered while also redefining the very fabric of government operations and citizen engagement. They enable governments to tackle complex problems with greater speed and accuracy than ever before. If governments do not stay current with the latest applicable emerging technologies, they risk falling behind.

Emerging technologies are shaping our societies. They are transforming societies, economies, government agencies, and geopolitics. They continue to affect the way we live, work, and interact with one another. Emerging government technologies include artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, blockchain, the Internet of things, cloud computing, quantum computing, big data, etc. This book examines these emerging technologies and their impact on government. It is organized into fourteen chapters that summarize emerging technologies and their applications in the public sector. It is a must-read book for anyone who wants to learn about modern government.
