“…25 O programa nacional de atividades inclui um treinamento que vai de estudantes do ensino médio a bolsistas de pós-doutorado, bem como o empoderamento das mulheres na área de IA. O governo provincial de Québec lançou o Fórum IA Québec para ajudar a província a aproveitar todo o potencial da IA, 26 e a Estratégia de IA de Québec (Brandusescu, 2021). Brandusescu (2021) argumenta que há muitas questões em torno das diferentes regulamentações jurisdicionais da IA.…”

“…Ultimately, of all the AI-related goals whose progress was documented by the federal government's Mandate Letter Tracker, none of them touched on the social implications of this technology. Instead, they all focused on job creation, trade, and investments in private entities (Privy Council Office, 2017), with 70% of the $1 billion of federal contributions awarded to the AI industry under the JT administration attributed to the private sector (Brandusescu, 2021: 10). Like most other policies related to digital governance and technology integration, Canada's AI policy centered on short-term benefits, contributed to an externalization of government services, and catalyzed a broader politicization of the Canadian civil service (see Clarke et al, 2017; Clarke and Francoli, 2017).…”

With technologies like machine learning and data analytics being deployed as privileged means to improve how contemporary bureaucracies work, many governments around the world have turned to artificial intelligence as a tool of statecraft. In that context, our paper uses Canada as a critical case to investigate the relationship between ideals of good government and good technology. We do so through not one, but two Trudeaus—celebrity Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (2015—…) and his equally famous father, former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau (1968–1979, 1980–1984). Both shared a similar interest in new ideas and practices of both intelligent government and artificial intelligence. Influenced by Marshall McLuhan and his media theory, Pierre Elliott Trudeau deployed new communication technologies to restore centralized control in an otherwise decentralized state. Partly successful, he left his son with an informationally inclined political legacy, which decades later animated Justin Trudeau's own turn toward Big Data and artificial intelligence. Compared with one another, these two visions for both government and artificial intelligence illustrate the broader tensions between cybernetic and neoliberal approaches to government, which inform how new technologies are conceived of, and adopted, as political ones. As this article argues, Canada offers a paradigmatic case for how artificial intelligence is as much shaped by theories of government as by investments and innovations in computing research, which together delimit the contours of intelligence by defining which technical systems, people, and organizations come to be recognized as its privileged bearers.

“…In the 2018/19 budget, the Australian government allocated more than AUD 28 million (USD 21 million) to create capabilities and support responsible AI development in Australia (Choudary, 2024). Canada is aiming to establish itself as an AI pioneer, particularly with the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy, released in March 2017 (Brandusescu, 2021). India announced their AI strategy in June 2018.…”

The study aimed to investigate the perception of government services employees regarding the future perspective of AI in government services and to compare the perspectives between federal and local level employees. Research adopted objectivity methods to explore the result. Data collected from federal and local government employees in Ramechhap District, Bagmati Province of Nepal. The study revealed insights into the perception of government services employees regarding AI in government services, indicating a moderate belief in AI's potential to enhance job efficiency and a cautious optimism towards AI integration within organizations. Respondents recognized the importance of investing in AI infrastructure and training, foreseeing changes in daily tasks and increased AI usage in service tasks. Anticipation of new HR roles and a demand for flexible virtual work setups was also noted. The ANOVA results comparing federal and local level employees' perspectives on AI in government services showed no significant difference between the two groups, suggesting that the variation in perspectives was not statistically significant. This research provides valuable insights into the perceptions and expectations of government services employees regarding AI adoption and its potential impact on future work environments
