8、rvice delivery and citizen trust.Since 2020,BCG and Salesforce have collaborated to produce the Trust Imperative series of reports.They explore citizens expectations and satisfaction with digital government services and the effect they have on trust in government.This year,our research again explore

9、s the evolution in usage and satisfaction with online government services,and includes a deep dive into citizens attitudes towards government use of artificial intelligence(AI),particularly Generative AI(GenAI).This research draws on BCGs 2024 Digital Government Citizen Survey(DGCS),which captures t

10、he perspectives of 41,300+regular internet users across 48 countries.It includes responses from 4,800+citizens from Australia and New Zealand(A/NZ).The BCG DGCS,which is conducted every two years,is the most comprehensive and longest-running voice of the citizen survey on digital government in the w

11、orld.We also conducted interviews and gathered qualitative input from 18+global experts in digital government and service delivery from BCG,Salesforce and externally.This report is divided into four sections:Section 1:The Expectations Gap reveals insights on customer expectations of online governmen

19、Service quality expectations remained high,with 74 per cent of respondents saying the quality of online government services should be as good the worlds best private sector institutions and global digital leaders.Over the past two years,the proportion of respondents in A/NZ who said that the quality

20、 of online government services at least matched those provided by private sector has increased 4 percentage points(from 83 to 87 per cent).However,the proportion of respondents who said that the quality of online government services was better or much better has dropped by 9 percentage points(from 4

21、4 to 35 per cent).GenAI could become a force multiplier for increased trust in governmentPrevious instalments of the Trust Imperative series(2020 and 2022)provided empirical evidence of the direct relationship between the customer experience and citizens trust in government.In our 2020 survey,84 per

22、 cent of A/NZ respondents told us that having great customer experiences when using online government services increases trust and confidence in government.Similarly,86 per cent of respondents said poor customer experience erodes trust.If deployed well,with the appropriate responsible AI guardrails

62、ultiplier for increased trust in governmentPrevious instalments of the Trust Imperative series(20203 and 20224)found compelling evidence of a relationship between the quality of customer experience when accessing government services,and citizens trust in government.In our 2020 survey,84 per cent of

63、A/NZ respondents told us that great customer experiences increase trust and confidence in the government.Similarly,86 per cent of respondents said that poor customer experience erodes trust.GenAI has the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of online government service

64、s5 to better meet or exceed customer expectations.This is because it offers opportunities for government to streamline operations,dramatically reduce wait times,and allocate more resources to human-centric support.GenAI enables6 the rapid development and deployment of new digital services,featuring

65、user-centred interfaces,cross-government integration,and personalised user experiences.It also facilitates 24/7 accessibility,ensuring that citizens can engage with online government services on their terms.Importantly,GenAI can help maintain high service standards by enabling timely and accurate in

66、formation delivery to both citizens and employees.To achieve these benefits,it is essential to navigate challenges related to privacy,security,and transparency,ensuring that GenAIs integration into public services reinforces trust and value for all stakeholders.If deployed well,with the appropriate

67、responsible AI guardrails in place,GenAI presents significant opportunities to make government services more accessible,less complex,personalised,and seamless with higher completion rates.Delivering services that are perceived to be higher quality fosters trust and confidence in governments ability

68、to meet the needs of the population.This establishes a foundation for citizens to be comfortable consenting to the use of their data to make their lives easier,which in turn,enables the delivery of better,more personalised services that meet citizens expectations.By integrating GenAI into this virtu

69、ous cycle,we can accelerate the trust flywheel,enhancing the quality and responsiveness of digital services (see Exhibit 5).In addition,GenAI also has the potential to drive substantial productivity and efficiency in government.Based on inputs from Faethm modelling,BCG estimates7 that GenAI could un

152、t the moral and ethical issues have not yet been resolved(14 per cent and 17 per cent respectively).26Section 4:The GenAI Roadmap for Government GenAI presents government with an exceptional opportunity to improve customer services,reduce costs,and build trust with citizens.However,government must c

153、arefully navigate the frontier of acceptability as it adopts GenAI.To effectively harness GenAI and reap its benefits,government must put improved service quality,trust and transparency at the centre of its strategy.Here,we outline the steps government should take.1.Get started now Building trust wi

154、th GenAI will require government to get started now to unlock benefits,learn by doing,develop the necessary capabilities and elevate service quality.Beginning now provides government with the opportunity to reduce the gap for citizens between experience and expectations,thereby increasing trust.Star

155、t small then scale To maximise the transformative potential of GenAI,government should adopt a strategy that balances launching manageable,targeted initiatives with the pursuit of an ambitious future vision.Beginning with smaller,scalable initiatives enables government to develop capabilities and es

156、tablish a base of trust and credibility with both citizens and employees.This approach acts as a catalyst for innovation,allowing for safe experimentation,risk reduction,and the gradual increase of momentum towards more ambitious initiatives.It also ensures that the integration of GenAI into governm

157、ent operations enhances service quality,increases trust among customers,and increases financial sustainability.Learn by doing Starting small means launching proof-of-concepts(POCs)and pilot projects that explore GenAIs capabilities in controlled but real-world settings.These initial steps help ident

158、ify technical and operational challenges,assess impact and effectiveness,and identify adjustments for implementation.POCs and pilots offer on-the-job learning for government teams,building the practical expertise essential for scaling GenAI solutions successfully.Scaling will require refinement base

159、d on feedback,direct experience,and continuous alignment to goals.It is crucial to establish metrics early that quantify improvements in service quality,cost efficiency,and customer satisfaction.As initiatives expand,this measurement framework must adapt to capture broader impacts,such as policy out

160、comes and economic efficiencies,with regular reporting to track progress and maintain transparency.Navigating this path requires government to stay adaptable,and be ready to pivot based on new insights and changing conditions.Start with low-risk/low-harm use cases Our survey revealed that citizens a

161、re cautious about GenAI being deployed in sensitive situations,such as service access decision-making processes or sentiment monitoring.However,governments can start by exploring GenAI opportunities in low-risk,low-harm use cases in the first instance before expanding to direct interactions with cit

162、izens.For example providing customer service agents with GenAI support tools will deliver significant benefits for customers through enabling more consistent advice,faster service,and freeing staff time to help citizens with complex needs.This approach allows for the immediate realisation of benefit

163、s in a way that is impactful and aligned with citizen expectations.It also acknowledges the potential of GenAI to transform government while ensuring that its deployment is sensitive to human values and risk management.27Governments need to get a move on with GenAI the focus needs to be on competenc

167、s Upskilling the public sector workforce with essential AI and GenAI skills,such as prompt engineering,data fluency and security,and ethics,should be a high priority.For GenAI to be an effective tool,the future government workforce must be well-versed in digital,AI,and GenAI.A recent survey by Appia

168、n of 400+Australian government workers showed that only 14 per cent of Australian public servants are confident in using GenAI in their daily roles.9 BCG research shows that 68 per cent of desk workers initially fearful of using GenAI saw a boost in work productivity and job satisfaction after using

169、 GenAI tools regularly.10 A focused effort to build digital and GenAI proficiency at all levels of public service should be a critical priority.Embedding GenAI in government necessitates a two-pronged strategy.Firstly,government must invest in at-scale learning programs to build digital and GenAI sk

170、ills and providing hands-on experience.The same BCG research shows that desk workers fear of using GenAI tools drops significantly when they have hands-on experience in their work context,with training offering the additional benefit of increasing productivity simultaneously.11 Secondly,recruitment

171、rounds should be used to hire new staff who already come with strong,core digital and GenAI abilities.Adding these skills to the existing workforce will quickly boost overall capability and productivity.The key will be in understanding which GenAI use cases can have an immediate and genuine impact f

174、 are to make better informed policy decisions,to deliver impact for citizens and to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations.For customised GenAI models,ensuring source data is complete,accurate,relevant,and updated is essential.Data must accurately reflect cur

175、rent situations and undergo strict ongoing checks for reliability.This is because,due to the complex nature of GenAI models,data errors might lead to inaccuracy or biases.However,not all use cases require GenAI models to be trained on government data,or for custom models to be built from the ground

176、up.There is an emerging range of GenAI-enabled technology platforms and solutions available to suit many use cases.Understanding the key choices and trade-offs for deploying GenAI is critical for achieving the desired outcomes,whether for the wide range of internal processes,customer services,or for

177、 improved policymaking.Realising benefits will also require unlocking trusted and secure data not just for data scientists but operationalising that data for staff so they can truly understand citizen needs,and provide high quality services.With the right data and responsible AI methods,government e

178、mployees will be empowered to work to reach their highest potential whilst mitigating the risks of AI.2.Establish prerequisites for trustOur research shows that trust in government to use GenAI responsibly hinges on three crucial prerequisites:1)clear rules and responsible AI;2)transparency in GenAI

179、 use;and 3)human oversight.Establish an oversight framework and responsible AI cultureBuilding citizens trust in the use of GenAI in government service delivery requires guardrails and a robust oversight framework.Trust in GenAI-powered government services is likely to increase where government has

180、additional safeguards in place.Government must demonstrate a genuine commitment to responsible AI practices through relevant laws and regulation,data protections,transparency of use,and clear communications about the use of GenAI.This might include offering a clear and genuine right of appeal for Ge

181、nAI-related decisions,potentially through established entities like the audit office,privacy commissioner,or ombudspersons,to ensure accountability and deepen trust.Across A/NZ jurisdictions,various existing privacy,competition,IP and copyright laws,regulations,policies,and guidelines already apply

182、to government use of AI and GenAI.However,many of these will need to be updated to reflect the nature of GenAI.Further,it is imperative that governments establish a workable oversight framework and proceed swiftly,even if this framework must be adapted and evolved over time.With appropriate policies

183、 and guardrails in place,government will be able to confidently use GenAI-enabled tools to design,develop,and deliver innovative GenAI-enabled services.Incorporating an AI Impact Assessment,like privacy impact assessments in some A/NZ governments,for GenAI-enabled projects would assist with transpar

184、ent governance.This assessment could systematically evaluate the potential impacts of GenAI projects on societal,ethical,and privacy dimensions,ensuring that deployments are technologically sound and socially responsible.With such assessments,government can demonstrate due diligence,enhance public a

185、ccountability,and foster greater trust in the use of AI technologies in government operations.Establish transparency systemsTransparency on the use of AI is a critical factor for establishing and maintaining the trust of citizens.Governments should provide as much information as possible about the p

186、urpose,methodologies,benefits,risks and risk mitigation strategies.In addition,governments should also be transparent about lapses or breaches,and promptly address any issues that emerge and disclose the circumstances and remedial actions taken.Further,to demystify the underpinnings of GenAI and ens

187、ure accountability,government should adopt practices that promote technological transparency.Publishing details about the algorithms,data sources,and machine learning models used in GenAI applications can help citizens understand how these technologies function and make decisions and build trust.30F

188、inally,outlining the oversight and accountability structures in place,including independent review bodies and audit processes,reassures citizens of government commitment to preventing misuse.By documenting the performance metrics and benchmarks of GenAI initiatives,government can showcase the tangib

189、le benefits and service quality improvements and establish a framework for continuous improvement and accountability.Bring the best of humans and AI Incorporating the strengths of both GenAI and human insight is crucial for maximising the trust and effectiveness of GenAI.Given GenAIs current constra

190、ints,it is important to create processes that combine the best of human capabilities with GenAIs speed and efficiency.This combination ensures that GenAI applications are fair and accurate and meet customer expectations for explainability,transparency and accountability.A human+machine approach is n

191、ecessary for nuanced decision-making,particularly in areas where human judgment is paramount,and errors have adverse consequences for customers.GenAI can support and enhance customer services without compromising integrity,reliability,or trust.Our research shows that respondents highly value human i

192、nvolvement alongside GenAI in delivering government services.To truly unlock the benefits of GenAI in a manner that preserves and builds trust,government must design processes that fully capitalise on human and AI capabilities.This involves recognising the unique strengths of humans in complex decis

193、ion-making and problem-solving,and the ability of GenAI to process and generate content efficiently.The extent of human participation should be tailored to each specific use case and its inherent risks.Helsinki and Amsterdam AI Registers The City of Amsterdam has established an Algorithm Register12

194、which provides an overview of AI systems and algorithms in use by the city.The register is publicly available,and provides citizens with an opportunity to understand more about specific solutions that are deployed.This includes intended purpose,data sets used,how human oversight is provided,the syst

195、em architecture and operational logic of data processing,and information on the approach taken to ensure non-discrimination and risk management strategies.Citizens can also provide feedback through the register to help make the algorithms used better,fairer and more responsible.The city of Helsinki

196、has also taken a similar approach(AI Register).13Transparency and communication will be key to building trust,and emphasis needs to be on purpose and benefits not just the technology itself.Anonymous digital government service delivery expert 12 City of Amsterdam Algorithm Register.Reporting issues

198、clude AIs potential effects on jobs and the economy,and other potential risks regarding accuracy and ethics.To create an environment that supports the expected widespread use of GenAI across A/NZ and to leverage its capacity for boosting productivity and economic benefits,government must collaborate

199、 with industry,academia,and the community on boosting AI literacy and to embed responsible AI practices across industries.Building AI literacy and encouraging upskilling Government should develop collaborative strategies for boosting literacy in AI and GenAI across the workforce.Education systems ac

200、ross A/NZ should incorporate AI and GenAI into learning curriculums:from the foundational stages in primary and secondary education through to vocational and tertiary learning.Beyond the classroom,it will be vital to promote a culture of lifelong learning.This will enable individuals to continuously

201、 refine their careers in line with evolving technology and meet rapidly shifting industry demands.Government and the private sector must signal a strong preference for relevant GenAI and AI proficiency in recruitment processes.Professional development programs across sectors must also evolve to incl

202、ude relevant AI and GenAI content,enabling knowledge workers to keep up with the rapidly changing technological advancements.Government has a responsibility to ensure GenAIs benefits are equitably distributed across all socioeconomic groups,that the advantages are shared,and the risks are not borne

203、disproportionately.Without targeted measures,programs leveraging GenAI might favour some socioeconomic groups,inadvertently widening the economic divide.Equity requires inclusive policies that democratise access to educational tools,ensuring every learner,regardless of their background,can benefit f

204、rom the advancements in GenAI.The emergence of GenAI and its adoption across the economy will have major impacts on the labour market.Initially,it will be selected for tasks within jobs that can be automated and augmented.Eventually though,some entire roles may no longer be required.At the same time

205、,new jobs and roles will emerge that we have not even imagined.31It is critical that government and the private sector offer comprehensive reskilling opportunities to those impacted by technological displacement.This effort should distinguish between the majority who need to become proficient in usi

206、ng GenAI tools for evolving job roles,and a smaller segment whose future careers might involve developing or enhancing GenAI technologies.For the latter,formal education and credentialing are essential.However,for the rest,innovative and accessible upskilling platforms,available within existing orga

207、nisations or externally,are likely to meet their needs.Catalyse innovation through regulatory and non-regulatory leversGovernment should create regulatory mechanisms that can adapt to the rapidly evolving GenAI landscape,fostering innovation without compromising community interests.For example,regul

208、atory sandboxes can provide a safe testing ground for new GenAI applications.Public-private partnerships bring together the expertise of government,industry,academia,and civil society to advance GenAI research,pilot applications,and address ethical and societal concerns.To encourage innovation in th

209、e small and medium enterprise segment,government could allocate resources to support GenAI research and development,providing funding for start-ups,research institutions,and collaborative projects.Other options to stimulate investment include tax incentives and innovation challenges.Equitable distri

210、bution of these resources will foster a more inclusive innovation ecosystem.This approach will promote economic growth,but will also ensure that the advantages of GenAI and technological progress are accessible to all.RISE Singapore empowering workforce skills of the futureRISE is an upskilling prog
