How TECHNOLOGY Can Drive GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY

Submitted by on Tue, 04/08/2025 - 11:33

This is highlighted by a recent report, led by the Technology CEO Council (TCC), in which the IBM Center for The Business of Government participated. That report, How Productivity, Innovation, and Efficiency Can Transform American Government, details how, if implemented effectively, technology-based reforms could reduce federal costs significantly—now and over time.

Quantum Computing for Public Value: Insights from Australia

Submitted by on Mon, 11/27/2023 - 16:27

Quantum computing is evolving from the fantastical to the achievable. Accelerated developments show promise for leveraging quantum computing to address previously intractable problems in government. The technology can foster immense potential benefits for the public, alongside far-reaching implications from using quantum technologies are likely to be widespread. Developing “quantum-safe” capabilities is crucial to maintaining data security and integrity for critical applications. Government leaders face an urgent need to develop a quantum-safe strategy and roadmap. 

Strengthening the Future of the AUKUS Partnership

New threats and domains for warfare continually emerge. These include cyber and space along with disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum. Dealing with these threats necessitates an enhanced partnership across governments and within industry.

Pathways to Trusted Progress with Artificial Intelligence

Submitted by on Tue, 07/25/2023 - 16:53

National governments have created AI-related strategies, frameworks, and guidelines on the ethical use of AI. Yet while people have faith in AI to produce good and reliable outcomes, they have questions about the safety and security of AI systems. Specifically, this concerns public trust in AI itself, and trust in government to develop mechanisms to successfully deploy and manage such a powerful technology. These issues cover trust in AI in the context of design, development, deployment, and evaluation of public services and public policy.

Emerging Technology for Response and Recovery: An International Dialogue

Submitted by on Mon, 02/14/2022 - 17:03

Critical challenges that agencies face include the increasing volume of incidents and emergencies, overly complex trade and immigration processes, and evolving threats to borders and customs. Governments can leverage data, AI, intelligent automation, and other emerging technologies to address these complex challenges—while also freeing up critical human resources for high value missions.

Delivering on the Vision of Multi-Domain Command and Control

Submitted by on Mon, 01/31/2022 - 17:00

Across the defence and national security landscape, all involved are grappling with the speed of technological change and the deteriorating strategic context. Everyone, from capability development to planning to operations, is aware that Western Allies no longer have a technological advantage over peer adversaries. This means to win the future battle, we must be focused on gaining situational advantage—making decisions better and faster than the enemy. Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) is focused on gaining that decision superiority.

Achieving Mission Outcomes Through DevSecOps

Submitted by on Fri, 06/11/2021 - 12:31

DevSecOps—short for development, security, and operations—is an approach to IT security based on the principles of the scientific method of experimentation: observe, question, hypothesize, predict, test, and iterate. This solid foundational methodology has served the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math, including computer science) community well, and has resulted in some of the most impactful innovations and scientific breakthroughs of our time.

This report addresses the critical role that DevSecOps plays to support the DoD mission.  It highlights the:

Creating Public Value using the AI-Driven Internet of Things

Submitted by on Wed, 05/26/2021 - 11:26

Government agencies seek to deliver quality services in increasingly dynamic and complex environments. However, outdated infrastructures—and a shortage of systems that collect and use massive real-time data—make it challenging for the agencies to fulfill their missions. Governments have a tremendous opportunity to transform public services using the “Internet of Things” (IoT) to provide situationspecific and real-time data, which can improve decision-making and optimize operational effectiveness.
