Government in the Digital Age

About this course

This beginner course explores how technology is changing government. You will learn how citizens now renew licenses, pay taxes, and request records through e-government services. You will discover open data portals that put public information in your hands, and you will practice using government websites step by step. The second half of the course covers the new dangers of the digital age: cyber attacks, disinformation in elections, and the rise of artificial intelligence in public services. No technical background is needed, only curiosity about how the machines and the state now work together.
