AI and Public Benefits

Creating Legislation that Ensures AI Serves Everyone

Artificial intelligence has immense potential to enhance the delivery of public benefits, such as healthcare, food assistance, and unemployment support. However, the implementation of AI in these services must be ethically governed to ensure it benefits all citizens, particularly the most vulnerable.

Ensuring Equity in Public Benefits
For AI to serve vulnerable populations effectively, policymakers must create legislation that prioritizes equity, accessibility, and fairness. This means ensuring that AI systems are inclusive, non-discriminatory, and designed to support those who need help the most.

The Role of AI in Social Services
AI can simplify complex processes in social services by automating eligibility assessments, streamlining claims, and improving access to benefits. However, this must be done carefully, with a focus on protecting citizen rights and ensuring that AI decisions are transparent and accountable.

By passing legislation that governs AI’s role in public benefits, we can ensure that these systems serve those most in need and remain fair and equitable.
