The Role of Low Code and Agentic AI in Enhancing Citizen Services

Public agencies can utilize the capabilities of low code and agentic AI to improve the quality of citizen services and streamline operations. The introduction of agentic AI presents an unprecedented opportunity for government entities to achieve even better outcomes through the adoption of low-code technologies. It comes as a natural next step in supporting the development of enterprise applications that offer a unique differentiator in public service offering — helping organizations build custom web and mobile apps faster, and with the right architecture to support scalability, agility, and high performance — while utilizing AI agents to enhance communication with citizens and optimize back-office operations.

Panel Discussion: Harnessing the Power of AI to Reshape Public Governance

As AI continues to transform industries, its role in enhancing governmental processes, policymaking, and public engagement will become increasingly significant. The integration of AI into government functions not only promises to streamline operations but also presents profound ethical considerations around data privacy, bias, and decision-making transparency. Saudi Arabia’s ambitious AI agenda, aiming to integrate this technology into governance, is fostering discussions on how AI can better serve citizens and drive more effective, inclusive policies. This session will explore how AI is revolutionizing public sector operations — from optimizing service delivery to transforming policymaking and fostering deeper citizen engagement. Through AI-driven analytics, governments are now empowered to anticipate trends, derive actionable insights, and craft data-backed and citizen-centric policies.
