Abstract
This paper provides an analytical investigation of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing good governance illustrating the concepts of AI and governance, maintaining their basic characteristics and fundamental principles, and exploring the connection between AI and governance. The research probes into practical AI apps enhancing governance, like data analysis, predictive modeling, and decision-making processes. Positive case studies from numerous countries are presented, showing how AI adoption has bolstered transparency and accountability in government services. The study also tackles numerous obstacles pumping into applying AI in governance, like legal and technical obstacles, and proposes practical solutions to ensure the effective integration of AI in fostering good governance.
