This new wave is being rolled out in our daily lives. However, there is a debate around the growing ethical threats and violations associated with ungoverned applications of AI. Dealing with those issues, the author raises the question of how to build the right AI governance model in Oman. Hence, this paper identifies how different countries' developed their own AI governance models through an extensive case study of common factors that contributed to the success of UK and Singapore. The author concludes this paper by displaying suggestions to construct good governance that would ultimately lead the government to foster AI innovations and enhance AI's positive potentials.","PeriodicalId":135802,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121866836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high penetration of these devices, even in developing countries, creates opportunities for the realization of m-government actions such as the provision of public interest apps. However, there are a number of factors that need to be considered for these tools to become really effective to promote citizenship. This paper describes research conducted to identify the limits and possibilities of the use of these apps for citizenship in Brazil. For this study, 98 apps available to Brazilian citizens were analyzed in relation to technical and qualitative aspects. It also analyzed the institutional environment and policies related to the theme. The results showed that these apps have been used in Brazil as an additional way of providing information, but are under used in promoting citizenship through public service provision or citizen participation.","PeriodicalId":135802,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130938968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this extent, extensive literature review on business models in the context of open data was performed. Interestingly, scholarly efforts providing practical elaborations and rigorous analysis of open data business models are omitted. This could be partly attributed to the fact that most discussions on open data business models are predominantly in the practice community. This shortcoming has resulted in a growing list of open data business models which, on closer examination, are not clearly delineated and lack clear value orientation. Therefore, this thesis will address issues related to open data business models. This paper focuses on the background and results of my research to date.

But because comparable international e-government data are scarce, most reports rely on the United Nations E-Government Development Index, specifically its Online Service Index as a benchmark. However, this assessment only captures national level initiatives at a broad level and does not link evaluation to outcomes and impacts, i.e. e-government performance relative to investment.\u0000 This paper briefly reviews the current UN framework and assesses how it can evolve to meet new demands, such as calls to better connect investments to policy goals, and evolving user behavior. It also places this in the context of new technology trends, like mobile and social media which have not yet been fully embraced by e-government but which are likely to become increasingly important. Similarly, important trends in benchmarking and in benchmarking tools are surveyed.\u0000 For example, is it possible to measure outcomes in a cost effective manner? What might be the role of non-UN data and of web metrics and social media analytics? How could relevant data and other information be better presented to countries and decision-makers in order to strengthen the goal of using the UN survey to support learning and improvement? In this context, the paper outlines the next feasible steps which the UN and similar benchmarks might adopt, including how the framework might be applied to local level assessments.","PeriodicalId":135802,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"834 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120942471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
