Technology in many shapes, forms, and devices is already shaping nearly every aspect of your life.

We queried ChatGPT: “Tell me about Public-Private Partnerships.” ChatGPT response: Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) involve a contract between a public sector entity, such as a government agency, and a private sector partner, typically a company or consortium of companies, to share resources, risks, and rewards in achieving a common goal. PPPs are usually implemented when the public sector entity lacks the expertise, resources, or funding to undertake a project alone or when a private sector partner can bring in innovative technology and management expertise to improve project efficiency and performance. We asked ChatGPT: “What is the role of AI and technology in Public-Private Partnerships?” ChatGPT response: AI and technology can help to… – Streamline and automate the PPP procurement process – i.e., analyze large amounts of data and identify potential partners. – Improve project planning, design, implementation – i.e., 3D modeling, simulation, and visualization tools. – Enhance project performance and maintenance – i.e., sensors and other IoT devices to collect real-time data. – Improve monitoring and evaluation of PPPs – i.e., blockchain technology to create a transparent and immutable record of project data and transactions, reducing the potential for fraud and corruption. We also asked ChatGPT: “Send me fictional movie quotes about Partnerships.” ChatGPT response: “You complete me.” (Jerry Maguire, 1996) “We’re in this together, and if we’re going to succeed, we have to trust each other.” (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, 2001) “We can’t change the past, but we can make the future better by working together.” (Interstellar, 2014) We’ll ask Larry Williams, Debra Lam, Donnie Beamer and Dr. Beverly Wright for their take on The Future of Public-Private Partnerships and AI / Technology: Solving World Problems Faster?
