aceData science, artificial intelligence and the third wave of digital era governance
This article examines the model of digital era governance (DEG) in the light of the latest-wave of data-driven technologies, such as data science methodologies and artificial intelligence (labelled here DSAI). It identifies four key top-level macro-themes through which digital changes in response to these developments may be investigated. First, the capability to store and analyse large quantities of digital data obviates the need for data 'compression' that characterises Weberian-model bureaucracies, and facili…
DSAI technologies enhance public agency and civil society capabilities through data de-compression and enable productivity gains via an intelligent centre, devolved delivery model for state functions.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1327 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
