AI and the Future of Public Policy

In a world shaped by uncertainty, complexity, and accelerating change, public policy must evolve - from static plans and top-down strategies to intelligent, ethical, and adaptive systems of governance. AI and the Future of Public Policy introduces a powerful new model for designing policy fit for the 21st century.

Drawing on real-world cases from the UAE, Rwanda, Finland, and fragile states, this book offers a manifesto for leaders, reformers, and public institutions to rethink policymaking through the lenses of foresight, ethics, AI governance, and contextual design. It introduces the Z-STRATEGi Operating Model, WINEK contextual mapping, and capability-first policy design - frameworks that equip governments not just to survive disruption, but to lead through it.

Written by leading strategists and policy designers at Z-STRATEGi, this book is both a practical toolkit and a bold vision for governing with intelligence, humility, and imagination.

Target Audience:

Policymakers and government reform teams

Public sector leaders and advisors

AI ethics and governance specialists

Strategy consultants and futurists

Academics in public administration, governance, and design
