Starting from the cognition of the digital age, this article reviews and sorts out the logical and practical approaches of empowering intelligent government intelligence decision-making with artificial intelligence. Through literature research, on the one hand, the logical path of empowering intelligent government intelligence decision-making with artificial intelligence is sorted out and explained; On the other hand, the practical approach of empowering intelligent government intelligence decision-making with artificial intelligence is explored from three aspects: task orientation, core support, and guarantee mechanisms. By reviewing the development history of artificial intelligence, this paper outlines the integration path of artificial intelligence with intelligence, smart government, and government decision-making. It proposes a logical and practical approach for AI to empower smart government intelligence decision-making, enriching the research content of the intersection of intelligence and artificial intelligence, and providing useful references and guidance for the construction of smart government.
