The Law of Cause & Effect (Karma) Action taken by the individual (positive or negative)

How can AI solution providers leverage SIPOC to make their AI processes and AI systems more transparent and accessible to both stakeholders and the general public ? The SIPOC methodology can be a powerful tool for mapping data flows in an AI system. When applied to AI systems, SIPOC helps visually

A Functional AI Literacy SIPOC is a high-level map that represents the core elements necessary for AI literacy as it pertains to understanding and utilizing AI systems. This SIPOC map does encompass the key functions needed for individuals to become AI-literate, focusing on the knowledge and skills required across various

This SIPOC process model outlines each step of the Transaction Data Lifecycle with events as the start and end datapoints. The lifecycle begins when an event triggers the initiation of a transaction and ends when the event-related transaction data is processed, stored, and finalized. The transaction data lifecycle can be

The objective function for smart AI-powered public services aiming to provide better quality at lower cost while being more responsive to citizens' requests can be defined as a mathematical or conceptual expression that captures the goals of efficiency, effectiveness and responsiveness. In the context of public services, the goal

Which Public Services will still be required in the intelligent age and if so in what form ? Envision taking it to the next level from autonomous driving to self governance and self governing public services by Agentic AI. 1. Healthcare Services agents for diagnosis, treatment, surgery, preventive care, emergency response,

The goal of this process framework is to promote a streamlined, secure and innovative environment that encourages the growth of exportable tradable services across borders. A management system to govern and promote the export of tradable services based on technological advances like AI and blockchain will need to address several

Goals set in the AI objective functions directly shape and govern the AI risk-return management process in the financial industry. The objective function in AI risk-return management should seek to balance risks & returns, ensure regulatory compliance and optimize portfolio performance in alignment with stakeholders' goals. Key Objective Functions

SIPOC notation Suppliers > Inputs > Process > Outputs > Customers is a valuable process modeling & mapping tool, particularly in the context of agent-based modeling (ABM) and its design from source to AI model to destination: 1. Stakeholder-Oriented Model: In ABM, agents represent different stakeholders or entities with specific

Quality in the value chain is defined as the consistent, reliable and efficient delivery of a final product or service that meets or exceeds customer expectations at every stage. Each stage of the value chain contributes to the final quality through a multiplicative effect, where the quality at each stage

Process management focuses on the entire value chain (resources, cost & time, etc.), while quality management focuses on the output and ensures that products & services meet customer requirements in terms of quality. The value chain must thus ensure that all products & services meet or exceed the defined customer

Implementing a successful government efficiency program like DOGE requires careful planning, strong leadership and above all a commitment to transparency and accountability. Human centric AI can play a significant role in making a government efficiency program successful by helping to improve service delivery, streamline operations and reduce costs in different

Incorporating blockchain technology into an agent-based model (ABM) for end-to-end visa application processing can add a layer of security, transparency and immutability to sensitive visa application data. Blockchain can provide a decentralized ledger for tracking the entire visa application lifecycle, from submission to approval or denial, ensuring that all interactions

An agent-based model (ABM) is a computational model that simulates the interactions of individual agents within a system to understand how collective behaviors emerge from these interactions. In the context of processing e.g. Schengen visa applications end-to-end through to visa approval or denial, an agent-based model could represent various
