Conclusion

This book, and the Whiteshield policy thrusts that it describes, demonstrates clearly that the time for rethinking public policy is now. The past, and the historic habit of governments constantly reacting rather than developing, is over. In a world of artificial intelligence (AI) economics, the relationship between the citizen and government will have to progress into one of the recognised services, and the Whiteshield notion of Ministry as a Service (MaaS) lies at the heart of this recognition of the fundamental changes created by AI.
