Unlike t aditional gove nance cente ed a ound the state, he e the gove nment exe cises the ight to ule and to pass out se vices, and the public a e passive eceive s of such se vices, mode n gove nance is cente ed a ound the people In mode n and democ atic gove nance, the public plays an active and essential ole in all gove nance p ocesses such as planning, p omulgation, decision making, to the implementation of policies and la s “Good gove nance” is a novel ay of gove nance that has ecently become inc easinglypopula and isactivelyp omotedbyboth egional and inte national development o ganizations Many economists believe that the effectiveness of economic efo ms depends st ongly on healthy and good political institutions The co e ob ective of good gove nance is to imp ove political institutions and foste economic development and hence, is based on institutional p inciples and equi ements that p omote t anspa ency and educe co uption Mo e specifically Good Gove nance is based on the follo ing basic p inciples: the ule of la , t anspa ency, accountability, fai ness, se vice, efficiency and effectiveness, consensus; data and fo ecast based decision, t ust, and pa tne -stakeholde equality in the gove nance p ocess

Mode n society demands mode n equi ements of gove nance, such as effectiveness, efficiency, and dive sity of se vices; disclosu e, t anspa ency, and accountability, pe sonal secu ity, the ight to pa ticipate in the gove nance p ocess, f ee election; the connectedness bet een the state and the people, the ight to info mation and access to info mation, the ight to monito and evaluate the quality of public se vices, etc The application of info mation technology and communication technology is a g eat ay to ealize these equi ements Achievements in info mation technology, communication technology and othe applications b ought about by Indust y have many positive impacts on gove nance, such as stimulating changes in public se vices, p omoting quality of public se vices and the quality of decision making, and bolste ing supe vision and people’s ight to pa ticipation; and p omoting democ acy Digital-based gove nment (o Sma t Gove nance), ith the adaptation of advance technology has cont ibuted eno mously to building and p omoting t anspa ency, disclosu e, pa ticipation, and effective gove nance Ihe advancement and application of Indust y have c eated many positive impacts on gove nance and many ne gove nance st uctu es, such as e-gove nment, AI gove nment, open gove nment, open data, and sma t cities

The e a e many ays to define e-gove nment The O ganization fo Economic Co-ope ation and Development (OECD) states that the te m e-gove nment efe s to the use of ne communication technology to pe fo m va ious gove nment functions, in hich the Inte net b ings about changes in gove nment st uctu e and mode of ope ation The United Nations O ganization (UN) and the Ame ican Administ ative Association (ASPA) defines e-gove nment asthe gove nment’s utilization ofthe Inte net and Wo ld Wide Web ( ) to p ovide info mation and se vices to the public In addition to Inte net and eb applications, some schola s also b oaden e-gove nment to the use of othe info mation technology, such as elect onic databases, net o ks, automated se vices, multimedia, and the use of technology in pe sonal identification Anothe c itical vie is that e-gove nment is the elationship bet een gove nment as a se vice p ovide , and othe custome s as se vice eceive s (such as businesses, citizens, and othe gove nments), and othe non-gove nment supplie s (such as businesses, citizens, and othe gove nments)

Gene ally, it can be unde stood that e-gove nment is a gove nment that actively applies the achievements of info mation and communication technology to “digitize”

T aditional gove nment, he e administ ative management ithin state agencies a e done manually, takes up mo e effo t, time, and esou ces, and the public does not have easy access to state gove nmental agencies With the help of mode n info mation technology, e-gove nment ill help the state administ ation achieve its goals, b ing satisfaction to the people, inc ease the t anspa ency of the national administ ation, st eamline the appa atus to educe gove nment spending, and imp ove the mo ality of civil se vants

E-gove nment plays a vital ole in p omoting disclosu e, t anspa ency, and accountability Mo e specifically, by inc easing t anspa ency and disclosu e, e-gove nment can limit public officials’ ongdoing, limit the oppo tunity fo them to ass and c eateunnecessa ydifficulties fo the citizens T anspa encyand disclosu e in e-gove nment management and se vice help fight co uption, bu eauc acy, monopoly, and educe the laziness of civil se vants Bybeing able to access and examine elect onic data, heads of public agencies can identify, p ecisely and timely, those civil se vants that a e effective and efficient and hich civil se vants a e slo , putting up ed-tapes and ass the citizens and businesses Simple things, such as the timekeeping and monito ing of the o king hou s of civil se vants, hich had to be done manually befo e, no can be mo e easily collected using mode n elect onic devices that can agg egate and t ansfe data to the heads of public agencies fo management Mo e impo tantly, e-gove nment can quickly and effectively publicize and p ovide the necessa y info mation to the people In a democ atic society, people must have complete cont ol and be able to monito the activities of thei elected gove nment To monito and cont ol effectively, ho eve , the people must have complete, accu ate, and timely info mation about thei gove nment With technology, info mation f om and about the gove nment can be made public and dist ibuted much mo e efficiently, hich in tu n helps the people ca y out thei ole of supe vising and monito ing the gove nment much mo e effectively Fu the mo e, ith easily accessed info mation, the

The Indust ial Revolution as developed on the basis ofconstant imp ovement of science and technology Hence, an essential equi ement of mode n gove nance is to continually innovate in o de to imp ove the administ ative p ocess of state agencies In the e a of the indust ial Revolution 0, the demand is not only to build e-gove nment, but also to adopt the most advanced technology to fo m the simplest, most convenient, and easiest to use an administ ative p ocess fo people Hie concept of “a ne gene ation of e-gove nment” as c eated f om that need

In ecent yea s, AI, a co e issue of the Indust ial Revolution 0, has been applied to state administ ative activities in count ies a ound the o ld, such as the US, Denma k, Dubai, and Hong Kong (China) The most p ominent application of AI in gove nance is the consultation p ocess, p ovision of se vices and public goods, and the public t anspo t management The U S Citizenship and Immig ation Se vices Depa tment is no using an online AI-based vi tual assistant to ans e questions f om citizens and immig ants In Hong Kong (China), AI has been used in the p ovision of gove nment public se vices Mo e specifically: “The AĨ system as deployed to st eamline the enti e p ocess of document p ocessing ith automatic decision suppo t heneve possible The main ob ectives of the AI module a e to: ( ) automatically evaluate simple cases, (2) p ovide decision suppo t fo complex cases hich need mo e info mation to handle, and (3) lea ning “cu ent t ends and p actices” f om people”2 In Dubai, AI is utilized to assess citizen satisfaction ith the se vices p ovided by state agencies When people come to ca y out administ ative p ocedu es at public agencies, senso s installed at ent ances ead peoples faces to measu e the level of satisfaction th ough face featu es Inte estingly, ecent esea ch p oposes the ability of AI to p event c ime, such as co uption3and money launde ing4 In addition, AI is also Linh Anh, ‘Othe Count ies’ La s on : The Good Assistant of the Public Autho ity’, People’s Rep esentative Elect onic Ne spape <http:// daibieunhandan vn/default aspx?tabid=77&Ne sId=4 83> accessed 25 Septembe 20

In the event that the gove nment of AI appiication violates o adve sely affects human ights, it is necessa y to dete mine the esponsibility fo such violations Ho eve , identifying esponsibility is d if the decision to censo is made by AL

Acco ding to the ule-of-la , any entity that violates the la must bea esponsibility fo such violation Ho eve , in the case hen AI eplaces many individual decisions and actions, including many gove nance decisions and actions, ho takes esponsibility hen AI violates the la o inf inges on human ights? Can AI be held esponsible hen it has no human qualities and values? Although the debate is ongoing and difficult to esolve, the fact is that AI is inc easingly involved in many aspects of ou society, but the e is no mechanism to identify esponsibility fo this ne type of entity

Is it the agency utilizing AI, the public se vant o is it the esponsibility of the manufactu e and develope that must ensu e the quality of the p oduct, o is it the sole esponsibility of the machine? The efo e, the p oblem of dete mining the level of application, the sub ect matte , and liabilities elated to AI is a big issue that needs ca eful planning

The e a e also many technical challenges to t anspa ency and accountability hen AĨ is utilized fo gove nance The use of AI in decision-making based sophisticated algo ithms makes it difficult fo people to unde stand, and it is almost impossible to t ace and fully unde stand the p ocess of such decisions Humans c eate AI to help us make decisions and ecommendations on complex issues Ho eve , even AI c eato s a e unable to unde stand ho some decisions and ecommendations a e made This c eates significant p oblems elated to t anspa ency and accountability In addition, AĨ ope ates and is t ained using data, hich is sometimes incomplete and i elevant to the sub ect This c eates anothe laye of complexity hen identifying t anspa ency and accountability
