AI goes live… but caseloads keep rising?
Over the past two years, many central and local government agencies have rolled out AI-powered chatbots, hoping to ease workloads and provide faster citizen responses. Yet frontline officers often report the opposite: “The more people ask the AI, the more complicated the cases become.”
When systems only echo FAQ answers without understanding case context or the hierarchy of legal documents, citizens are easily misled. This often leads to misquoted laws in formal appeals—leaving caseworkers not only to resolve the original issue but also to correct the AI’s errors. Instead of relief, workloads have multiplied.
Citizens armed with AI, agencies left behind
Meanwhile, citizens and consultants are already using Generative AI to draft detailed applications, prepare legal arguments, and produce more sophisticated documents than ever before. Agencies, however, lack the equivalent tools. Many civil servants resort to using their personal AI accounts—sometimes even paying out-of-pocket for professional upgrades—to keep up. For digitally literate young officers, agencies that block AI usage risk losing talent to departments that embrace it.
Real transformation starts when AI enters daily workflows
This gap points to a deeper truth: AI shouldn’t just be an external-facing tool for answering public queries. It must be embedded into the daily workflows of case officers—helping them parse statutes and precedents, cross-check applications, draft audit reports, and reference directives or appeal rulings. These routine yet complex tasks are exactly where AI can make a measurable difference—enhancing both governance quality and service efficiency.
