The Relationship between Information Technology and the Modernization of the National Governance System

Abstract

Currently, a new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation is emerging. New-generation information and communication technologies, such as big data and artificial intelligence, evolve rapidly and profoundly impact economic and social development. They provide strong momentum for the modernization of national governance systems and capabilities. As an emerging governance resource, big data holds vast potential for promoting the modernization of national governance systems. It can enhance the decision-making level of governance, awareness of data openness and sharing, capabilities in public service, and risk management. Artificial intelligence presents opportunities for building a modern national governance system, facilitating precision, intelligence, and efficiency. National governance should seize the development opportunities of information technology, increasing its contribution to building a modern governance system.
