ODEC 9035 - Artificial Intelligence and Public Administration

The seminar explores current and potential uses of artificial intelligence in public administration, along with the legal, ethical, and social implications. As tools like ChatGPT have brought AI into the mainstream, public administration has undergone rapid digitization. Yet, despite suitable infrastructure, the adoption of AI in the public sector remains limited. The seminar will review global case studies and address questions such as: Is it permissible or desirable to replace human discretion with algorithms? How should administrative procedures and law adapt to this new reality? Topics will also include transparency, accountability, and algorithmic bias.
