The artificial intelligence industry (A.I.) is rapidly evolving, with continued developments from OpenAI and other players, as well as emerging players such as DeepSeek, reshaping the trajectory of the sector. At Advanced Robot Solutions, we’re closely monitoring these changes and their impact on A.I.-powered self-service solutions for public sector organizations like courts and municipalities.
DeepSeek: Efficiency Meets Performance
Last week, emerging player DeepSeek rocked the A.I. industry with its DeepSeek-R1 model. The Chinese startup claims to rival industry leaders in performance while utilizing cheaper chips, significantly reducing training costs. Boasting impressive A.I. reasoning, DeepSeek achieved comparable results to established LLMs while investing significantly less capital.
What’s particularly intriguing about DeepSeek’s approach is its focus on efficiency. By achieving comparable results with less computational power, DeepSeek is challenging the notion that state-of-the-art A.I. requires massive investments.
Generative A.I. and LLMs in Public Service
The continued evolution of generative A.I. and large language models (LLMs) such as DeepSeek is exciting for many sectors. Greater tools are becoming more widely available for both operational and customer service uses, allowing for streamlined processes and reduced costs. Government organizations such as courts and municipalities that utilize A.I. tools are no exception to these changes, which is why it’s critical for these vital institutions to follow the best practices put forth by experts in the industry.
While generative A.I. is a powerful tool with many positive applications, it can also be misused in sensitive scenarios. In courts, where information must be accurate and legal advice must be limited to legal professionals, A.I. tools must be highly specialized, trained, and have specific limitations. This often results in courts limiting their use of public-facing generative A.I. tools like DeepSeek or OpenAI to avoid the associated risks of A.I. fabricating responses, also known as hallucinations, or accidentally providing legal advice. Alternatively, more courts continue to use generative A.I. for internal training, research, and hiring, further enhancing operations.
Like many industries, courts implementing A.I. tend to invest in internal applications based on highly trained, small language model (SLM) A.I. tools that provide accurate information without the risk of having A.I. hallucinations or providing legal advice.
Opportunities and Challenges Ahead
As A.I. takes center stage in public sector self-service, it’s crucial to address the evolving nature of the industry and how these changes affect government institutions. The announcement regarding DeepSeek has far-reaching implications for A.I. as a tool and its relationship with public sector self-service.
At Advanced Robot Solutions, we’re committed to helping courts and government organizations navigate these developments and harness the power of A.I. to create self-service solutions that truly serve the public good. We’re developing innovative approaches to make government services more accessible, efficient, and responsive to citizens’ needs. While our ARS Connect A.I. System leverages the leading A.I. systems, we focus that power within the area of communication (for example, natural language processing and translation). ARS’s A.I. does not hallucinate. Instead, all responses from our A.I. platform are based on information provided by our customers.
The future of A.I. in public sector self-service is bright, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this transformation. As we continue to explore cutting-edge A.I. technology and its applications in government services, we remain dedicated to shaping a future where technology enhances the relationship between citizens and their government and creates a more accessible society.
