The Policy Innovation Lab believes that AI, used responsibly, can improve policymaking, governance and service delivery. Members of the Lab recently published the CRAFT principles for responsible AI use in government. In this article, we demonstrate an example of how the Lab put these principles into practice when using Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyse South Africa’s national budget. We begin by looking at the analysis itself before discussing the methods for responsible LLM use.

At the same time, communities are beginning to contest their demands on electricity, water and territory, as well as the secrecy surrounding their environmental and fiscal consequences.

“The inspiration behind having the Summer School was twofold. We want to advance the field of sandboxes — what we call building a science — but we also want to create a community. Those two things reinforce one another.”

— Lorrayne Porciuncula, Executive Director of the Datasphere Initiative.

Navigating fast-moving digital innovation is increasingly a test of institutional adaptability.

KKA group of early-career researchers in the Karl Popper Kolleg “FruitScope: A DroneScope for Smart Agriculture” is working on ways to use drone swarms in agriculture and forestry. Shivi Vats is part of this group. His research focuses on forest inventories using drone swarms, with particular emphasis on communication between the drones: How do they communicate in dense forests where no communications infrastructure is available? How do they transmit the information they collect? And how can the recorded data be compressed as effectively as possible?
