Kick-off AI4GOV Workgroup

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is developing in all areas of our society, including the public sector. Used in government, intelligent systems can improve the quality and efficiency of public services, contribute to cost savings and more effective policies. For the citizen, it can reduce the ‘digital divide’ and enhance accessibility, provide useful recommendations to help them and to simplify their administrative procedures, or to speed up the processing of information or decision-making. At the same time, particular attention must be paid to the ethical dimension in the design of algorithms in order to guarantee their appropriate application, and to avoid, among others, the reinforcement of discriminatory biases.
