From E-budgeting to smart budgeting: Exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in government decision-making for resource allocation

Artificial intelligence has become an important tool for governments around the world. However, it is not clear to what extent artificial intelligence can improve decision-making, and some policy domains have not been the focus of most recent studies, including the public budget process.

Ramon Gil-Garcia Artificial intelligence Public budgeting E-budgeting Smart budgeting Multilayer Perceptron Artificial intelligence has become an important tool for governments around the world. However, it is not clear to what extent artificial intelligence can improve decision-making, and some policy domains have not been the focus of most recent studies, including the public budget process. More specifically, budget allocation is one of the areas in which AI may have greatest potential.

In order to respond to this question, this article proposes an algorithmic approach on how budget inputs (specific expenditures) are processed to generate certain outputs (economic, political, and social outcomes). The authors use the multilayer perceptron and a multiobjective genetic algorithm to analyze World Bank Open Data from 1960 to 2019, including 217 countries. The advantages of implementing this type of decision support system in public expenditures allocation arise from the ability to process large amounts of data and to find patterns that are not easy to detect, which include multiple non-linear relationships. Some technical aspects of the expenditure allocation process could be improved with the help of these kinds of techniques. In addition, the results of the AI- based approach are consistent with the findings of the scientific literature on public budgets, using traditional statistical techniques. 2023-10-05T14:40:06Z 2023-10-05T14:40:06Z 2021 https://digital.lib.ueh.edu.vn/handle/UEH/69632 en reserved pdf

description Artificial intelligence has become an important tool for governments around the world.
