AI Technologies in Public Administration: Institutional Aspects and Application Risks

Abstract

Rapidly developing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are penetrating into all areas of society's life and being integrated into management processes. The speed of their development, self-learning, and the range of applications are astonishing. AI technologies are becoming a part of everyday life and a prerequisite for leadership and efficiency in business, politics, science, and education, including at the international level.The consequences of such a rapid and widespread application of AI have not yet been fully studied and understood, and the introduction of AI technologies in the management of the state, which is a special social institution designed to ensure stability and regulation in society, is of particular interest in understanding the subsequent changes. Mistakes in governance can have catastrophic consequences.This predetermined the purpose of the article, which is to examine the process of introducing artificial intelligence into the work of the state in the context of its institutional specifics. To achieve this goal, the article uses the methodology of institutional and activity-based approaches, as well as a sociological understanding of the uniqueness of AI technologies, which allows us to examine the structural, regulatory, and legal aspects of introducing AI into public administration and the daily practices of civil servants, as well as to highlight the existing risks associated with this process.
