This article seeks to assess the potential of AI technologies in enhancing data-driven policymaking, especially in addressing socio-economic, technological, and environmental challenges in African countries.
The research used a qualitative approach and a comprehensive literature review to understand artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential applications in public policy-making.
AI can enhance public policy-making processes in multiple ways, but it has not evolved to the point of replacing human intelligence.
The article demonstrates that the future of policy-making will depend on a synergy of AI capabilities and human intelligence, with the latter being essential for exercising judgement, and making final policy decisions.
Multidisciplinary empirical research including social scientists, such as policy management experts and AI technology developers, may assist in improving the AI technology weaknesses identified in this paper.
Implementing the findings in this article will enhance the use of AI in policy and improve public policy-making.
