How can we leverage AI to digitize, streamline and scale good processes and decision-making in government? Paola is imagining a new economic model for governments, transforming them into profitable organizations.

This model challenges the traditional concept of “public” and its cost structure, using big data to analyze millions of government operations and suggesting revenue-generating recommendations to each agency, so their operations and the public services they provide can be sustainable. Under this data-driven, profitable approach, an opportunity to separate governance from politics is plausible, and might constitute the basis for what’s next after democracy.
