The COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on the urgent need for federal agencies to enhance data access to save time, money and lives. The past year and a half have also served as a reminder that data is ever-changing—whether it’s coming from a state’s centralized repository of health records or a military jet that produces one terabyte of data per hour—and needs to be readily available and up-to-date to enable key decision-makers to analyze it accordingly.
The rise and importance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the public sector will enable agencies to achieve better, faster and more accurate decisions. Open-data and open-source approaches are also the most efficient way to ensure data is up to date and freely shared in today’s world.
