- The DoD is focusing on the use of AI in challenging cases that can benefit from AI such as perception, maintenance, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief.
5) HELP IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
- The police department can benefit from AI by using it to clear cases that can be automated by bots.

RESEARCH STRATEGY
We started the research on the benefits of AI to government organizations by conducting an analysis of recent AI reports from think tanks such as Delloitte Insights and publications from reputable media such as Forbes. This produced relevant and credible information and arguments that we counter checked with other findings from reputable academia and industry leaders to ascertain their significance. We used this data to come up with the seven benefits.
