b'From the Editors DeskPerspective on Driving Digital TransformationThe Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe. From all indications, the port is preparing for the future today, focusing on safety, efficiency, and sustainability. To do this successfully, the port is developing its digital twin, providing real-time situational awareness of all things static, moving, human-driven, or autonomous, pulling together all the geographic, sensor, and real-time information to provide port personnel a complete and current view of port activities.Erwin Rademaker, program manager, Port of Rotterdam Authority, joined me and my co-host, Sreeram Visvanathan, IBM global managing director for Government, Healthcare, and Life Sciences to discuss the Port of Rotterdams digital transformation strategy, how it is creating its digital twin, and other ways the port is changing the way it does business. We conducted this interview at this years SPADE conference hosted in Soesterberg, the Netherlands. SPADE brought together defense, intelligence, and security leaders from Europe and around the world in dialogue with experts from IBM and industry. This years theme was designing for the future of defense and security.Forum on the Evolving Use of Artificial Intelligence in GovernmentOver the last two years, the IBM Center for The Business of Government and the Partnership for Public Service have collaborated on research focusing on the use of AI in government and its implications. The finding and insights from this joint effort culminated in the release of three distinct yet complementary reports:The Future Has Begun: Using Artificial Intelligence to Transform Government. This report offers four cases of organizations that have used AI. It distills findings from over a dozen interviews with thought leaders who are applying AI in government and demonstrates that government can use AI to solve real issues and meet their missions. The forum contribution will provide a synopsis of two of the four cases outlined in the full report.More Than Meets AI: Assessing the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Work of Government. This report addresses how government can best harness AIs potential to transform public sector operations, services, and skill sets. It draws on insights from a series of roundtables with government leaders and focuses on three areas: AI impact on a transformed workday, the potential for personalized customer service, and the increased importance of technical and data skills.More Than Meets AI, Part II: Building Trust, Managing Risk. This report discusses further steps agencies can take to manage risks. While taking advantage of the many anticipated benefits of AI, agencies must also manage real and perceived risks associated with AI to build trust in the technology.6 www.businessofgovernment.org The Business of Government'
